There was 1 September day that papa worked 2 hard
First he crucified every dandelion out in the yard
Then he screamed at baby twice 4 throwin' rocks at passin' cars
Baby didn't listen, so like a priceless work of art
He got snatched by his papa who then opened up the closet door
And pushed the four-year-old down, onto the closet floor
Baby cried I'm sorry, I won't do it no more
Papa said yeah, I know, that's what this here's 4

Smack!
Ooh papa...
Smack! smack!
Ooh papa...papa...
Smack!
Ooh papa...
Smack! smack!
Ooh papa...papa...

As the door closes, baby starts 2 cry
Please don't lock me up again, without a reason why
Papa just went outside and pointed a shotgun up in the sky
He said how come I don't love my woman?
Then he took aim and died

Don't abuse children, or else they turn out like me
