Cannibals Lyrics by Mark Knopfler

Cannibals Lyrics

    Well he's daddy's little boy he plays with his toys
    He holds on to his daddy's hand
    His daddy says sonny you're a big strong boy
    You're gonna be a big strong man
    And they go play catch they go play ball
    They go take a walk along the sand
    Big strong daddy and a big strong boy
    Living in a big strong land

    Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
    Daddy can i have a dinosaur
    Once upon a time there were cannibals
    Now there are no cannibals any more

    Down in louisiana there's a hurricane coming
    The little boy climbs the stairs
    And all along the levee all the people come running
    And the little boy's saying his prayers
    And a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy
    And he's asking for his g.i. joe
    And daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin
    And says my little one i love you so

    Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
    Leave a light outside the door
    Once upon a time there were cannibals
    Now there are no cannibals any more

    Lay down your head now don't get out of bed
    Don't you let the bedbugs bite
    It's time to go to sleep now not another peep
    And i'll see you in the morning light
    And then the radio was playing and the weatherman was saying
    The hurricane had blown away
    And daddy's little boy was jumping up for joy
    And he was singing at the break of day

    Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
    Daddy can i be a warrior
    Once upon a time there were cannibals
    Now there are no cannibals any more

    Yeah daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
    Daddy why do people go to war
    Once upon a time there were cannibals
    Now there are no cannibals any more
