	Story Behind the Song In the mid-1980s, I acquired an insatiable appetite for rock and roll, and particularly rockabilly music. I wrote this after I heard Nick Lowe's "I knew the Bride," wanting to write something tough but sentimental. I only recently came up with a second verse that I really liked, and I figure now I'll sound a little more sure of myself when I play it at an open mic might. Lyrics Sweet Daddy Rhythm And Mama Rock and Roll Way back from a time she was my lady She'd listen to the radio. To Sweet Daddy Rhythm And Mama Rock and Roll Living only but to get our share of a family affair The only kind we'll ever know. The first time I saw her face she was looking at 17 Driving me and the boys half-crazy was a beach blonde bopping the scene When I tried to get a birds eye look at her first Well she loosened up the strings on her purse. And she took another dollar while heading for the record machine To Sweet Daddy Rhythm And Mama Rock and Roll Way back from a time she was my lady She'd listen to the radio To Sweet Daddy Rhythm And Mama Rock and Roll Living only but to get our share of a family affair The only kind we'll ever know The last time I held her hand it was 1973. If you knew me back then you wouldn't think it but the girl had a spell over me. Cause when it came to rock and rolling all over the place You could tell it by the look on my face It was all that ever mattered and all I ever wanted to be Was Sweet Daddy Rhythm And Mama Rock and Roll Way back from a time she was my lady She'd listen to the radio To Sweet Daddy Rhythm And Mama Rock and Roll Living only but to get our share of a family affair Go on and stare cause we just don't care We're gettin our share of a family affair The only kind we'll ever know Is ROCK AND ROLL
