Papa Was a Rascal by The Afghan Whigs Lyrics
Well well
Well well
There was a sweet white woman
Down in Savannah, G.A
She made love to my daddy
In front the K.K.K
She made love to my daddy
You know in front the K.K.K
You know my papa went to Boston
And took a gangster's gal
She stole away with my papa
From old Italian Sal
She stole away with my papa
You know from old Italian Sal
Yeah! Yeah!
…
You know my momma and my sister
They both begin to say:
"You know we all better watch out
For the C.I.A."
You know we all gotta watch out
Watch out for the C.I.A
Yeah Yeah
You know we all gotta watch out
Watch out for the C.I.A
Yeah Yeah
…
Are you bad?
Are you bad?
Are you bad?
Are you bad?
Are you back to be bad?
You know my papa was a preacher
And a lover too
Well if my papa was a rascal
Why can't I be one, too?
You know my papa was a rascal
I think I want to be one, too
Yeah!
You know my papa was a rascal
I think I want to be one, too
Yeah! Yeah!
…
Mmmmh…
Well well
There was a sweet white woman
Down in Savannah, G.A
She made love to my daddy
In front the K.K.K
She made love to my daddy
You know in front the K.K.K
You know my papa went to Boston
And took a gangster's gal
She stole away with my papa
From old Italian Sal
She stole away with my papa
You know from old Italian Sal
Yeah! Yeah!
…
You know my momma and my sister
They both begin to say:
"You know we all better watch out
For the C.I.A."
You know we all gotta watch out
Watch out for the C.I.A
Yeah Yeah
You know we all gotta watch out
Watch out for the C.I.A
Yeah Yeah
…
Are you bad?
Are you bad?
Are you bad?
Are you bad?
Are you back to be bad?
You know my papa was a preacher
And a lover too
Well if my papa was a rascal
Why can't I be one, too?
You know my papa was a rascal
I think I want to be one, too
Yeah!
You know my papa was a rascal
I think I want to be one, too
Yeah! Yeah!
