Peggy Lee - My Heart Belongs To Daddy Lyrics






I used to fall in love with all those boys who maul the young cuties
But now I find I'm more inclined to keep my mind on my duties

While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don't follow through
'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
So I want to warn you, laddie
Though I know you're perfectly swell
But my heart belongs to Daddy
'Cause my Daddy he treats it so well

There was a dame that a football game
Made long for the strong undergraddie
I never dream of making the team
'Cause my heart belongs to daddy

Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
So I simply couldn't be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
So I want to warn you, laddie
Though I know you're perfectly swell
That my heart belongs to Daddy
'Cause my Daddy, he treats it so well

Peggy Lee My Heart Belongs To Daddy Comments

    For the "older" generations, this song will be most closely associated with Mary Martin, for the "younger" ones, it'll be an other MM, Marilyn Monroe. There are other notoriously sexy songstresses, most notably Eartha Kitt and Julie London. In no sense I want to belittle these versions, all good ones in their own right, and I have them all on records and albums, but Peggy Lee really hits it out of the ballpark, as Paul stated. You don't get any jazzier and sexier than this. The album cover ain't too shabby either ;-). P.S. The rendition of Anita O'Day is equally good, a display of her unmatched improvisational skills, but as far as straight, unadulterated swing goes, Peggy's is the definitive one.

    James Gavin who wrote an excellent biography of Peggy Lee said her jazz phrasing on this blows his mind. He's so right.
