This Papa Don't Mind 
You knockin' on my back door at night
Long as you keep the ruckus down, don't give those cats a fright
Bring us somethin' nice to warm us from the inside
And I'll be your fool
As we huddle 'neath the evenings blanket
Playin' It cool
Papa Don't Mind, Papa Don't Mind

This Papa Don't Mind
You speakin' those words he's been longing to hear
Whispered sweet somethin's
Lips caressing these ol' fuzzy ears
Hot juicy-fruit breath, thrills me to death
Brings a smile to my eyes
There's no denyin' you can get this boy sighin'
When you............. improvise

We'll travel the stars from our lawn chairs
There'll be no cause for alarm
If we just bundle up warm
Push ignition and hold on tight
Rev our motors, and start the flight

Papa Don't Mind
You feedin' his fancy
Puttin' thoughts in his head
Notable dishes that exceed all his wishes
You bake some mean gingerbread
Though this is no “Camelot”
Still, I'm absorbed in the plot with all it's turns and twists
And the plans and the schemes as we rehearse the next scenes
Leaves no will to resist

You know this,

Papa Don't Mind
Papa Don't Mind
