Daddy Can I Turn This? Lyrics - Elvis Costello

There is a button and there's a switch 

There is a needle and there's a dial 

There is a lever I want to lift 

And still you treat me like I'm a child 

And daddy can I turn this? 

Daddy can I turn this? 

Will it be very dangerous? Or will it taste nice? 

You wash your hands in perfume and spice 

I'll tell you when I want your advise 

And daddy can I turn this? 

Daddy can I turn this?

Is anybody acting your age? 

You got a girl, you keep in a cage 

You give her presents after a while 

A birthday cake containing a file 

And daddy can I turn this? 

My daddy can I turn this? 

The flashing lights go running 

'Round and 'round 

It spits out money 

It tastes like honey 

So drink it down, daddy 

It leaves the slightest chemical taste 

It could be most unfortunate 

Earrings that jangle before they're seen 

She slaps your face like a tambourine 

Daddy can I turn this? 

And daddy can I turn this?
