Daddy Died On Saturday by Outsiders (Dutch band) Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1968

Once upon a time
There was a poor young man
Who lived in a slum, who looked like a bum
'Cause he wore a second hand

Something changed, ya see, one day
In a most peculiar way
He fell in love with a pretty girl
Whose dad was rich and grey

But her daddy didn't like the guy
Told her he would rather die
Than let her marry him
He didn't tell her why

He tried to change his mind
But the man remained unkind
He didn't want to listen to what they said
Hе made his daughter sad

This is more than thе boy could take
If he won't bend, he's gotta break
He decided to solve this problem
In his own way
He bought a poison sugar lump
At the café in the slum
Put it in the old man's tea
And waited patiently

Daddy died on Saturday
They had a ball on Sunday
At the funeral on Monday
They didn't pray
