Lyrics
Final version
(Mm-mm)
(What's up? What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up? What's up?)
Lyin' on the beach in the hot sun (what's up?)
Yeah, I want you
If you have forgotten how to have fun (come on)
Well, I'll show you
You're rich and I'm wishin', um, you could be my Mister Yum
Delicious to the maximum, chew you up like bubble gum
He loves me, he wants me
I think I want you too
You can be my daddy tonight-night-night
I'm neon phosphorescent, open like a Christmas present, ah
You can be my daddy tonight-night-night
If you're seekin' heaven, then you wanna come and get it, get it?
You can be my daddy tonight-night-night
I'm neon phosphorescent, open like a Christmas present, ah
You can be my daddy tonight-night-night
If you're seekin' heaven, then you wanna come and get it, alright
Be my daddy tonight
I see you shinin' bright with your gold chain on (so bright)
Drinkin' with your crew (yeah)
I give you one look and you know that it's on (what's up?)
Yes, you do
He's rich and I'm kissin' a magical musician, oh
We drivin' through the cinema, taste like sugar cinnamon
Hey, baby (what?), come take me (what?)
I'll go anywhere with you (yeah)
You can be my daddy tonight-night-night
I'm neon phosphorescent, open like a Christmas present, ah
You can be my daddy tonight-night-night
If you're seekin' heaven, then you wanna come and get it, get it?
You can be my daddy tonight-night-night
I'm neon phosphorescent, open like a Christmas present, ah
You can be my daddy tonight-night-night
If you're seekin' heaven, then you wanna come and get it, alright
Be my daddy tonight
(What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up?)
Sittin' on your lap, singin' you my song
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Got a lollipop, I could give you some

You can be my daddy tonight-night-night
I'm neon phosphorescent, open like a Christmas present, ah
You can be my daddy tonight-night-night
If you're seekin' heaven, then you wanna come and get it, get it?
