Dsus4         Am
Daddy needs a drink to deal with all the beauty
   C                            G
To deal with all the madness to keep from blowing up
Dsus4                  Am
Daddy needs a drink to calm down the badness
   C                           G
To execute his gladness on the fullness of his cup
Dsus4                  Am
Daddy needs a drink to keep the wheels from rubbing
   C                         G
To compensate for nothing or nothing going on
 
(Chorus)
Em            Am       C            G
Daddy needs a drink so Mama fix one quick
Em               Am               C               G
Pour it nice and strong with your cleaning outfit on
Em            Am       C            G
Daddy needs a drink so Mama fix one quick
Em               Am               C               G
Pour it nice and strong with your cleaning outfit on

Dsus4                  Am
Daddy needs a drink to hem in his demons
   C                                  G
To hear through baby screaming or the TV set turned on
      Dsus4                         Am
Ain't nothing on the radio like the wave my transmitter's on
C                                 G
Put that drinking jacket on and enjoy a little fog
 
(Chorus)
Em            Am.      C            G
Daddy needs a drink so Mama fix one quick
Em               Am               C               G
Pour it nice and strong with your cleaning outfit on
Em            Am       C            G
Daddy needs a drink so Mama fix one quick
Em               Am               C
Pour it nice and strong with your cleaning outfit on
