When it comes to kissin', I just got to keep insistin'
Baby, you sure do swing
And when it comes to kissin', I just got to keep insistin'
Daddy, you are the king

Baby, you've got me beat up and down, inside out and across, oh yeah
But in the middle of the night, when the moon is shinin' bright
You're the boss

Talkin' 'bout a-dancin' and a-down home romancin'
Daddy, you are the king
Talkin' 'bout a-dancin' and a-down home romancin'
Baby, you are the queen

Man, when push comes to shove, when it comes down to love
You're the boss
But in the middle of the night, when the moon is shinin' bright
You're the boss

You're the best of everything
You're a peach
You're a plum
You're a diamond
You're a pearl

You're the best of everything
Daddy, you're my man
Baby, you're my girl

When it comes to knowin' which way the wind is blowin'
Baby, you sure are wise
And when it comes to knowin' which way the wind is blowin'
Daddy, you take the prize

Baby, you're a genius when it comes to cookin' up some chili sauce
But in the middle of the night, when the moon is shinin' bright
You're the boss
You're the boss
You're the boss
You're the boss

Baby, you're a genius when it comes to cookin' up some chili sauce
But in the middle of the night, when the moon is shinin' bright
You're the boss

When it comes to kissin', I just got to keep insistin'
Baby, you sure do swing
And when it comes to kissin', I just got to keep insistin'
Daddy, you are the king

Baby, you've got me beat up and down, inside out and across
But in the middle of the night, when the moon is shinin' bright
You're the boss
You're the boss
You're the boss
You're the boss
