Dat Dere

Bobby Timmons

Hey mama, what dat dere?
Hey, why that under dere?
And oh mama, oh hey mama, hey look at dat over dere
Hey, where'd they go in there?
Hey, what they do in there?
Hey, mama can I have that big elephant over there?

Hey, who dat in my chair?
Hey, what's she doing there?
And oh mama, oh hey mama, hey, what dat say up dere?
Hey mama, what's a square?
Hey, where do we get air?
Hey, mama can I have that big elephant over there?

My quizzical kid, she doesn't want anything hid
She's forever demanding to know
Who and what and why and where
Inquisitive child, and sometimes the questions get wild
Like mommy can I have that big elephant over there?

Don't wanna comb my hair
Hey, where my teddy bear?
And oh mama, oh hey look at the cowboy coming there
Hey, can I have a pair of boots like that to wear?
Hey, mama can I have that big elephant over there?

The time will march, the years will go
The little lady's gonna grow
I gotta tell her all she'll need to know
I'll help her along she'll know right from wrong
Gotta make her strong

As life's parade goes trudging by
She'll need to know some reasons why
I don't have all the answers but I'll try
As best as I can, gotta help her to plan so she'll make her stand

You give the kid your best and hope she'll pass the test
When you finally send her out into the world somewhere
Although she's grown up I bet I never will forget
Mama, can I have that big elephant over there?

What they do in dere?
Hey, where'd they go in dere?
And oh mama, oh hey mama, hey, why dat under dere?
Hey mama, what is fair? How come I've gotta share?
Hey, mama can I have that big elephant over there?
Yeah, mama can I have that big elephant over there?
Yeah, mama can I have that big elephant over there?
