Hello,
Does anyone know where I can get the words and music to the song "Ag please
daddy" that was popular in South Africa in the sixties?

Cheers

Have you tried your local library? They also have the
means/resourses in locating things. Also "National Public Radio"
(NPR)station is in nearly every country. They also have a vast
amount of knowledge. mark

Here they are, with one 'PC' change in the chorus! Thanks to ampers for
the transcription, which I've only edited slightly.

Ag Pleeze Daddy, by Jeremy Taylor

Ag pleeeeze Daddy, won't you take us to the Drive-In,
All six, seven of us - eight, nine, ten.
We wanna see a flick about Tarzan and the Apemen,
And when the show's over you can bring us back again.

Chorus:
Popcorn, chewing gum, peanuts and bubble-gum
Ice-cream, candy floss and Eskimo pie
Ag Daddy how we miss,
Nicker-balls and liquorice
Pepsi-Cola, Ginger beer, and Canada Dry

Ag pleeeze Daddy, won't you take us to the Fun Fair
We wanna have a ride on the bumper cars
We'll buy a stick of candy floss
And eat it on the Octopus
Then we'll take the Rocket Ship that goes to Mars

Chorus:

Ag pleeeze Daddy won't you take us to the wrestling,
We wanna see an ou called Sky-High Lee
When he fights Willie Liebenberg
There's gonna be a murder,
'cos Willie's gonna donner that blerrie Yankee

Chorus:

Ag pleeeze Daddy won't you take us off to Durban,
It's only eight hours in the Chevrolet,
There's spans of sea and sand and sun,
and fish in the aquarium,
That's a lekker place for a holiday

Chorus

Ag pleeeeeeeeeze Daddy

Voetsek !!!

(one seconds silence)

Ag siestog Daddy, if we can't go off to Durban
Or go and see a film, life's a hang of a bore
If you won't take us to the zoo,
then what the heck else can we do
But go on out and moere all the oukies next door

Chorus
