Daddy don't live in that
New York City no more
He don't celebrate Sunday
On a Saturday night no more

Daddy don't need no lock and key
For the piece he stowed
Out on Avenue D
Daddy don't live in that
New York City no more

Daddy don't drive in that
Eldorado no more
He don't travel on down
To the neighborhood liquor store

Lucy still loves her Coke and rum
But she sits alone
'Cause her daddy can't come
Daddy don't drive in that
Eldorado no more, no more

Driving like a fool out to Hackensack
Drinking his dinner from a paper sack
He says I gotta see a joker
And I'll be right back

No, my Daddy don't live in that
New York City no more, no more
He can't get tight every night
Pass out on the barroom floor

No, and Daddy can't get no fine cigar
But we know you're smoking
Wherever you are
Daddy don't live in that
New York City no more, no more
No, no, no, no, no
