Prince and the New Power Generation
Daddy Pop (Live at Glam Slam, 1992)
[Intro: Rosie Gaines & Prince]
Oh Daddy
Oh yeah
MPLS!
Oooh, sock it to me
Oooh Daddy

[Verse 1: Prince & Rosie Gaines]
See my brother talkin' plently head
Steady wishing he could sleep in your bed
Steady wishing he was in your car
Just a steady wishin' that he was who you are

[Chorus: Prince & Rosie Gaines]
Pop Daddy, Daddy Pop
Brother steady talkin' while the girlies steady hop
Pop Daddy, Daddy Pop
Punchin' in the rock and roll clock

[Verse 2: Prince & Rosie Gaines]
See all the people wonder why
You set your goals high, high as the sky
See the people running from the truth
Living in the past
When they need to be living the new
[Chorus: Prince & Rosie Gaines]
Pop Daddy, Daddy Pop
Brother steady talkin' while the girlies steady hop
Pop Daddy, Daddy Pop
Punchin' in thе rock and roll clock (Oooh)
Pop, Daddy Pop
Pop, Daddy Pop
Pop
Punchin' in the rock and roll clock
Talk, guitar, talk
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo

[Breakdown: Rosie Gaines]
Daddy Pop is the writer and lovе is the book
You better look it over before you overlook
One (Oh Daddy)
Two (Oh yeah)
Three (Oooh, sock it to me)
Four, come one (Oh, you're the best)

[Verse 3: Prince & Rosie Gaines]
See all my critics wastin' time
Worrying about the Daddy while he beat you blind
Get your life together, stop your cryin'
Whenever you say that you can't
That's when you need to be trying
[Chorus: Prince & Rosie Gaines]
Pop Daddy, Daddy Pop
Brother steady talkin' while the girlies steady hop
Pop Daddy, Daddy Pop
Punchin' in the rock and roll clock

[Verse 4: Rosie Gaines & Prince]
What kind of fool is this, that thinks Daddy will miss?
What kind of boy would dis, a list, as long as history itself
I got grooves and grooves up on the shelf
Deep purple concord jams
This party I will slam
I don't think you understand
Whatever you can't do, Daddy can
The one and only Daddy Pop
Dig it, the one and only what?
Daddy Pop

[Chorus: Prince & Rosie Gaines]
Pop Daddy, Daddy Pop
Brother steady talkin' while the girlies steady hop
Pop Daddy, Daddy Pop
Punchin' in the rock and roll clock
Poppa Daddy's coming
(Ring di di ding) somebody's calling
"The jester's on the phone!"
Oh yeah?
Rosie tell him I ain't home
He just one in a long line that wanna see me!
Daddy Pop
Pop Daddy, Daddy Pop
Pop Daddy, Daddy Pop
Pop Daddy, Daddy Pop
Pop Daddy, Daddy Pop
[Verse 6: Tony M.]
Daddy Pop lead the band
As I step to the mic and lend a hand (Oh Daddy)
To the funky groove, let's make the whole house move
Yo band let me hear you say "ooooh" (Oh yeah)
That's right, we're gonna turn this mother out tonight
We ain't leaving till they (Oh daddy)
Gonna have to turn off the lights
And if they do then what we gonna do?
(Trash it up cause we ain't through) (Oh yeah)
Yeah hit it, it's time to get with it, huh
I ain't no angel so to hell with playing innocent (Oh Daddy)
Those who came to party know just what I'm talking about
So come on y'all (Oh yeah)
Wave your hand in the air, everybody
Wave your hand in the air (Daddy Pop)
For the funkiest band in the land and don't forget
The P-A-R-T-Y-M-A-N

[Outro: Tony M.]
Peace (Daddy Pop)
Yeah, peace (Daddy Pop)
Like I said right about now (Daddy Pop)
NPG is like aaaaaaaa (Daddy Pop)
