Every Monday morning around five o'clock

A man in white would bring quite a lot

Milk and cheese and whipped cream on top

'Til the last house on the block

And he'd say, "Alright"

Aw-haw

Yes, he'd say "Alright"

Momma' let him in our back door

He knew what Mother was waiting for

Daddy'd gone off to win the war

Milkman always came back for more

And he'd say, "Alright"

Aw-haw

Yes, he'd say "Alright"

My daddy was a milkman

My daddy was a milkman

It took me years to understand

That my daddy was a milkman

My daddy was a milkman

Daddy never did make it home

He got a pretty woman in Viet Nam

To take the place of my dear old Ma

And raise a family of his own

And he'd say, "Alright"

Aw-haw

Yes, he'd say "Alright"

Milkman owns his own milk factory

And a corporation sharing company

And since I'm his only family

I'm in the money, I'm in the money

And I say, "Alright"

Aw-haw

Yes, I say, "Alright"

My daddy was a milkman

My daddy was a milkman

It took me years to understand

That my daddy was a milkman

My daddy was a milkman

Yeah, my daddy was a milkman

Hey, my daddy was a milkman
