I’m a Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas

Gangsta rap!

Well a pretty little mom tried to put me on the run

But I had to burn her down with a Thompson Gun

I'm a ding dong daddy from Dumas babe

You oughta see me do my stuff

I'm a ding dong daddy baby

And liquor is my racket

Lots of times when things are dull

I deal in other traffic

I can sell you morphine coke or snow

Take a little shot and you're raring to go

It's not so much gangster rap as hipster rap, don't you think?

@KDP: Well, it could swing either way.

BTW, there's a Dumas in Arkansas and one in Texas.

This wild younger generation and their drug-fueled "jazz" music are proof positive of the imminent downfall of American civilization.

Thanks for the introduction to Bob Wills, Paul. I'd always wondered where the expression ding dong daddy originated from -- I remember seeing it in a Robert Crumb cartoon.
