[Chorus]
A D
Oh Carey get out your cane
A
I'll put on some silver
G D
Oh, you're a mean old daddy
A D
but I like you
[Verse 4]
(same as verse 1)
D
The wind is in from Africa
A
Last night I couldn't sleep
G D
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here
A
But, it's really not my home
D
Maybe it's been too long a time
A
Since I was scramblin' down in the street
G D
Now they got me used to that clean white linen
A
And that fancy French cologne
[Chorus]
A D
Oh Carey, get out your cane
A
I'll put on my finest silver
G D
We'll go to the Mermaid Café
A D
Have fun tonight
G D
I said, oh, you're a mean old daddy,
A D
but you're out of sight
