Every Monday morning 'round 5 o'clock

A man in white would bring quite a lot

Milk and cheese and whipped cream on top

To the last house on the block

And he'd say aw alright uh huh

Yes he'd say aw alright

Mama'd let him in our back door

He knew what mother was waiting for

Dad had gone off to win the war

The milk man always came back for more

And he'd say aw alright uh huh

Yes he'd say aw alright

My daddy was a milkman

My daddy was a milkman

It took me years to understand

That my daddy was a milk man

My daddy was a milk man

Daddy never did make it home

He found a pretty woman in Vietnam

To take the place of my dear ole moom

And raise a family of his own

And he'd say aw alright uh huh

Yes he'd say aw alright

Milkman owns his own milk factory

And important share in company

And since I'm his only family

I'm in the money

I'm in the money

And I say aw alright uh huh

Yes I say aw alright

My daddy was a milkman

My daddy was a milkman

It took me years to understand

That my daddy was a milk man

My daddy was a a milk man

My daddy was a a milkman

My daddy was a a milkman
