Daddy hugs his little man

 says son I’ve got to go

 and he pulls out of the drive and disappears

 as they walk back in the house

 the young boy asks his mama

where does daddy go when he leaves here

mama tells her little man

 your daddy’s got a job

 and when he goes to work they pay him for his time

 well the young boy gets to thinking

and he heads up to his bedroom

 and comes running back with a quarter and four dimes

Chorus

 and says mama how much time will this buy me

 is it enough to take me fishing or throw a football in the street

if I’m a little short then how much more does daddy need

 to spend some time with me
