Daddy, I want some furs and things 
Daddy, I want the diamond rings 
Aeroplanes, motor cars and such 
If your little mama ain't askin' too much 
From you, from you 
Won't you give me what I want, daddy do 
If you don't I know who will 
If you don't I know who will 
You may think that I'm just bluffin' 
But I'm one gal ain't supposed to want for nothin' 
I got my wantin' habits on 
I've had 'em on since this morn 
Man, you've got to help me 'long 
If you don't, it's good-bye John 
Squeeze me till I feel the thrill 
Love me till I get my fill 
'Cause if you don't and say you won't 
I know who will, Mr. So-and-So 
I know who will 
If you don't I know who will 
If you don't I know who will 
You might think that I'm just bluffin' 
But I'm one gal ain't supposed to want for nothin' 
I've got my wantin' habits on 
I've had 'em on since this morn 
Man, you've got to help me 'long 
If you don't, it's goodbye John 
Squeeze me till I feel the thrill 
Love me till I get my fill 
'Cause if you don't and say you won't 
I know who will, my other papa 
I know who will
