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
