He used to get up really early
Go to work at the auto parts store
But then he got his act together
Now he doesn't work there no more

Things are lookin good for my sister and me
We're gettin' checks from the record company

Daddy is a rockin'
Daddy is a rockin'
Daddy is a rockin' roll star

Well it was just another weekend
He was playing in a cheesy dive
When good fortune intervened
and suddenly in came Clive

He signed my Daddy up on the spot
We got a platinim album that's really hot

Daddy is a rockin'
Daddy is a rockin'
Daddy is a rockin' roll star

Daddy is a rock and roll star
He knows who his real friends are
Some people said he'd never get far
But he's never going to play in another bar

Daddy is a rock and roll star
He knows who his real friends are
Some people said he'd never get far
But he's never going to play in another bar

He used to practice in the basement
with the heat turned off in the winter
But now he's moved on up
from the Rat to the Civic Center

He used to drive my mama
up the wall
Every time Daddy took out
his old Les Paul

Daddy is a rockin'
Daddy is a rockin'
Daddy is a rockin' roll star

Daddy is a rockin'
Daddy is a rockin'
Daddy is a rockin' roll star

Daddy is a rockin'
Daddy is a rockin'
Daddy is a rockin' roll star
