Dance to Your Daddy

Dance to your daddy, my little laddie
Dance to your daddy, my little lamb
You shall have a fish and you shall have a fin
You shall have a herring when the boat comes in
You will have a lobster boiled in a pan
Dance to your daddy, my little lamb

Dance to your daddy, my little laddie
Dance to your daddy, my little lamb
When thou art a young boy, you must sing and play
Go along the seashore, cast your shells away
Build yourself a castle, watch the tide roll in
Dance to your daddy, my little lamb

Dance to your daddy, my little laddie
Dance to your daddy, my little lamb
When you art a man and come to take a wife
You will have a girl and love her all your life
She will be your girl and you will be her man
Dance to your daddy, my little lamb

Dance to your daddy, my little laddie
Dance to your daddy, my little lamb
When thou art an old man, father to a son
Sing to him the old songs, sing of all you've done
Pass along the old ways, let the song begin
Dance to your daddy, my little lamb
