Come on down, come on down
The orphans gathering all around
Come on down, come on down
The Daddy Auction's back in town
He's six foot tall with thick gray hair
He wants us all to know he cares
He'll buy us candy and make us glad
Spank us just right when we're bad
He'll wave at cameras and work all day
He'll make the monsters go away
Watch his grace as he straddles the fence
I'm so filled with confidence
Come on down, come on down
Children gathering all around
Come on down, come on down
The Daddy Auction's back in town
Smiling dads lined up and down the hall
Running gauntlets, watch them fall
Who's got the hardest, handsomest shell
The shiny surface that reflects our distorted selves?
So punch the hole for one of two
Who do you want to take care of you?
Pray the king your soul to keep
Make your free choice and go back to sleep
