Papa won't you let me go to town with you

Papa I'm feeling so down and blue

You just gotta come around, please do

Papa won't you let me go to town with you



There's a blue dress at Dindy's I'd give the world to see again

I need some hand lotion and some powder from the five and ten

Buy us some chocolate and I'll make you a pretty pie

If ya don't let me go I'll just die



Papa won't you let me go to town with you

Papa I'm feeling so down and blue

You just gotta come around, please do

Papa won't you let me go to town with you



I Gotta pick up a pattern, Aunt Nora's making me a dress

I scrubbed it this morning, what d'ya mean this floor's a mess?

I done everythiing you said, and then some ya didn't say to do

You just gotta take me with you



Papa won't you let me go to town with you

Papa I'm feeling so down and blue

You just gotta come around, please do

Papa won't you let me go to town with you



Looky here papa I found your other Sunday shoe

I shined it and I shined it till it looks all brand spankin new

Seems like a year I've been waiting for today

If you let me go I won't get in your way



Papa won't you let me go to town with you

Papa I'm feeling so down and blue

You just gotta come around, please do

Papa won't you let me go to town with you
