Oh, I know Daddy
A cheeky techno-pop song with energetic, bouncy synths and a pulsing four-on-the-floor beat, Back-and-forth vocals trade playful lines, layered over crisp percussion and sparkly plucks, The hook features a rising melodic motif, infectious bass, and punchy claps, enhancing the song’s charming catchiness

Lyrics
Acoustic guitar strums a cheerful, folksy melody, soon joined by a light, rhythmic cajon beat.
(Verse 1)
A man's voice, warm and gentle, begins to sing.
We're looking at the lake today
A little shack for us to stay
Just two rooms, a bed or two
Enough for Mommy, me, and you.
Got a dock for fishing rods,
Watch the sunset, thank the gods.
(Verse 2)
A little girl's voice, bright and full of energy, jumps in playfully.
Daddy, no, that sounds so slow!
Our new lake house needs a flow!
I want a super twisty slide,
A bouncy tube where we can ride!
We need ten puppies, all who swim,
And a cruise ship to the brim!
(Chorus)
The voices sing together, a playful argument set to the melody.
Daddy: Oh, my goodness, listen here!
Girl: No, you listen, Daddy, dear!
Daddy: Just a shack with two small beds!
Girl: A puppy party in my head!
Daddy: A quiet place to rest and dream!
Girl: A giant slide with a water stream!
Daddy: A perfect place for three to be!
Girl: A cruise ship for my friends and me!
(Verse 3)
The man's voice sings, with a slight hint of a smile.
Pumpkin, sweetie, let's be real,
That's not the kind of house we'll feel.
The budget's small, the dreams are big,
A simple cabin, not a fig...
...ment of your wild design!
Just a two-room place, so fine.
(Verse 4)
The little girl's voice, completely undeterred, adds to her list.
Daddy, you are being silly!
You'll get a lake tan, looking chilly!
My cruise ship needs a diving board,
And every friend I've ever stored!
Plus a pirate ship for fun,
And another slide for everyone!
(Bridge)
The music softens, just the gentle guitar strums. The dad's voice sounds like he's about to give in.
Daddy: You know, a slide might be a treat...
Girl: And puppies can't be beat!
Daddy: Okay, okay, you've made your case...
Girl: A happy, puppy, cruising place!
(Chorus)
The music swells, and the chorus returns, but the dad's lines are now playful and resigned as the daughter's are triumphant.
Daddy: Oh, my goodness, listen here!
Girl: You're listening, Daddy, dear!
Daddy: Fine, a shack with maybe ten beds!
Girl: A puppy party in our heads!
Daddy: A loud, fun place, I guess we'll dream!
Girl: A giant slide with a water stream!
Daddy: A perfect place for... a hundred to be!
Girl: My friends and puppies and you and me!
(Outro)
The song ends with a final, cheerful guitar chord. The little girl's voice whispers excitedly.
Girl: We won!
