Submitted by Leah Rinaldi and Aviva Glaser. this song is called
"ach please
daddy" (our south african ditty). we were tought this song
many moons ago
(aproximately '95 or so) and it has since been a tradition kept
alive mainly
by Gil Browdy (of the Browdy clan). they told us this song comes
from Habo
South Africa and it must be sung with the proper South African
accent (special
accent foot notes have been provided for your convenience).
"Ach Please Daddy"
Ach please daddy won't you take us to the drive in?
All 6, 7 of us 8, 9, 10 *
We're gonna see a flick about Tarzan and the Ape Men
And when the show is over you can bring us back again**
Popcorn, chewing gum, peanuts and bubble gum,
Ice cream, candy floss and eskimo PIE!
Ach daddy how i miss bore balls and licorice,
Pepsi cola, Ginger beer and Canada DRY!***
* the number 10 is pronounced TIN
** again is pronounced AGIN
*** and dry is pronounced DCHRY (now that's a tricky one, so if
you must just
roll the R and we will let it slide...this time:) )
