Big Long Slidin' Thing

I've been in every bar

Been in every honky-tonk

Tryin' to find my daddy

With that broke down piece of junk

Asked everyone to help me

Cried, "Help me if you can

You know my daddy

He's that trombone playin' man"

Oh, where's my daddy?

Oh, tell, help me, where's my daddy

With that big long slidin' thing?

I even asked a man

That played a steel guitar

He said that you don't need him

To be moved into the bar

He brought his amplifier

And he hitched it in my plug

He planked it and he plugged it

But it wasn't good enough

Oh, oh, 'cause I need my daddy

I need my daddy

With that big long slidin' thing

Then a knock came at my door

I said, "Mm, my daddy's back"

I opened up the door

And there stood piano jack

He said, "I came to do some tinklin'

On your piano keys"

I said, "Don't make me nervous

This ain't no time to tease"

Just send me my daddy

My daddy with that big long slidin' thing

Well, the first time that he played

I asked him how it was done

He said, "I blow through here

Then I work my fingers and my thumb"

"I slide it right up

Then I slide it back again

I get a lot of wind

And then I slide it back again"

Oh, that is my daddy

With that big long slidin' thing

Oh, oh, oh yeah
