My heart belongs to daddy Lyrics

My heart belongs to daddy

(C.Porter)

While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don't follow though
'Cause my heart belongs to Daddy

If I invite a boy some night
To dine on my fine finnan haddie
I just adore his asking for more
But my heart belongs to Daddy

Yes my heart belongs to Daddy
So I simply couldn't be bad.
Yes, my heart belongs to daddy
Da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da--ad
So I want to warn you laddie,
Though I think you're perfectly swell
That my heart belongs to Daddy
'Cause my daddy he treats it so well

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I suspect that "dine on my finnan haddie" is a euphemism for "box lunch"! ;-)

The song was written by famous american songwriter Cole Porter for the 1938 musical "Leave it to me" which it was performed by Mary Martin. To which she sings this song while doing a striptease, apparently she was stranded at a Siberian railway station only wearing a fur coat. She performed the same song in 1940's movie "Love Thy Neighbor" to which she is wearing a fur coat once again but this time she is wearing an evening gown underneath. She again sung it again in the Cole Porter biopic "Night and Day" in 1943 to which she performed the striptease again.

Finnian Haddie is smoked haddock, a type of fish. Though it does kinda worry me, it sounds almost incestuous.

Isn't it "teeing off" a game of golf? I've never heard of "tearing" off in golf.
