"Daddy has a sweetheart
and Mother is her name."
Daddy's best loved record,
and I felt much the same.
As my daddy rocked me,
he played this little game.
He'd say, "Listen for it,
just listen for your name."
"Daddy has a sweetheart"
and then these words I'd hear,
"And Joyce is her name."
I heard it loud and clear.
Only when he said so,
was my name sung this way.
How my daddy did it,
I know not to this day.
