[Verse 1]
I've been in every bar, been in every honky tonk
Been tryin' to find my daddy with that broke down piece of junk
Ask everyone to help me, cried, "Help me if you can"
You'll know my daddy, he's that trombone playin' man
Where is my daddy? Tell me, where is my daddy?
With that big long slidin' thing
[Verse 2]
I even asked a man that played a steel guitar
He said that you don't need him to be moved eight to the bar
He brought his amplifier and he hitched it in my plug
He planked it and he plunked it, but it just wasn't good enough
'Cause I need my daddy, need my daddy, with that big long slidin' thing
[Verse 3]
Well, then a knock came at my door, I said, "Mmm, my daddy's back"
I opened up the door, and there stood Piano Jack
He said, "I came to do some tinklin' on your piano keys"
I said, "Don't make me nervous, this ain't no time to tease"
Just send me my daddy
Send me me my daddy with that big long slidin' thing
[Verse 4]
Well, the first time he played, I ask him how it was done
He said, "I blow through here, then I work my fingers and my thumb
I slide it right up, then I slide it back again
And I get a lot o' wind, and then slide it back again"
Where is my daddy?
With that big long slidin' thing, oh yeah
