Telephone rang at nine in the morning
It's Mr. Katherine on the line again
He wants to know if his daughter's home
But she's sleeping like the rest ofus
He won't let go of her
He can't let go of her
It's a dad thing
She's been up all night with her friends
Smokin' pot and dancin'
Her daddy wants her home with him
He doesn't realize that she's all grown up
So he calls her up at home
At 9:00 in the mornin'
To make sure she's alone
He won't let her go
He can't let go of her, of her
It's a dad thing
She'll run and run and run and run
She'll run and run and hide
She'll run and run and run and hide
Calls her up at home
To make sure she's alone
