(G) Where does daddy go when he leaves (A) here 

(D) Mama tells her little man, your (A) daddy’s got a job 
And when he (G) goes to work they pay him for his (A) time 
Well the (D) young boy gets to thinking and he (A) heads up to his bedroom 
Comes (G) running back with a quarter and four (A) dimes 

And says (G) mama how much (A) time will this buy (D) me 
Is it e-(G)-nough to take me (D) fishing or throw a (C) football in the (A) street 
(G) If I’m a little (F#) short then how much (Bm) more does (A) daddy (G) need 
To (Em) spend some (A) time with (D) me 

(D) The young boy tells his mama, now I (A) know daddy’s busy 
Cause (G) most times when he gets home it’s dark out-(A)-side 
But (D) tell him I’ve got me some pennies saved (A) up from the tooth fairy 
And I (G) keep ‘em in my piggy bank and I believe there’s thirty-(A)-five 

And (G) mama how much (A) time will that buy (D) me 
Is it e-(G)-nough to take me (D) camping in a (C) tent down by the (A) creek 
(G) If I’m a little (F#) short then how much (Bm) more does (A) daddy (G) need 
To (Em) spend some (A) time with (D) me 

Brief break (G) (F#m) (Bm) (G) (Bm) (A) (D)  

(G) Mama how much (A) time will this buy (D) me 
Is it e-(G)-nough for just an (D) afternoon, a (C) day or a whole (A) week 
(G) If I’m a little (F#) short then how much (Bm) more does (A) daddy (G) need 
To (Em) spend some (A) time with (D) me

Starts (G) dialing up some numbers on the (A) phone 
She says (D) daddy come home early, you don’t (A) have to chase that dollar 
Cause your (G) little man has got one here at (D) home
