Текст песни Cannibals, Mark Knopfler

Well he s daddy s little boy he plays with his toys
He holds on to his daddy s hand
His daddy says Sonny you re a big strong boy
You re gonna be a big strong man
And they go play catch they go play ball
They go take a walk along the sand
Big strong daddy and a big strong boy
Living in a big strong land

Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
Daddy can I have a dinosaur
Once upon a time there were cannibals
Now there are no cannibals any more

Down in Louisiana there s a hurricane coming
The little boy climbs the stairs
And all along the levee all the people come running
And the little boy s saying his prayers
And a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy
And he s asking for his G.I. Joe
And daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin
And says my little one I love you so

Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
Leave a light outside the door
Once upon a time there were cannibals
Now there are no cannibals any more

Lay down your head now don t get out of bed
Don t you let the bedbugs bite
It s time to go to sleep now not another peep
And I ll see you in the morning light
And then the radio was playing and the weatherman was saying
The hurricane had blown away
And daddy s little boy was jumping up for joy
And he was singing at the break of day

Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
Daddy can I be a warrior
Once upon a time there were cannibals
Now there are no cannibals any more

Yeah daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
Daddy why do people go to war
Once upon a time there were cannibals
Now there are no cannibals any more
