[Slim]
When I look at you my dear I can't help wond'ring
What happened to my quiet baby girl,
That ponytail just doesn't seem familiar,
It's always swingin' in a crazy whirl.
[Anne]
But it still belongs to me, daddy, darlin',
Although it might have grown I must admit,
But underneath the swinging and the dancing,
I think you'll find I haven't changed a bit.
[Instrumental]
[Slim]
My peaceful life is always now invaded,
With transistors bleeding out the latest hit,
And your dresses all seem different to me darlin',
Are you sure you haven't changed that little bit?
(oh-oh yeah)
[Anne]
Well I like to hear the latest thing in music,
And I'd rather dance than stay at home and knit,
But it's best of all when we can get together,
So you see I really haven't changed a bit.
[Instrumental]
[Slim]
Come over here my teenage possum and I'll tell you,
All about a brand new song I wrote today,
You can tell me if you think that I should change it,
Or will I sing it in the same old country way.
[Anne]
Keep a country tune to all the songs you sing, dad,
'Cause they swing along as well as any hit,
I was raised on country music and you'll see dad,
That your teenage daughter hasn't changed a bit.
[Both]
Let's keep a country tune to all the songs we sing now,
'Cause they swing along as well as any hit,
We were raised on country music and we'll show you,
That our kind of music hasn't changed a bit.
