If I Had A Paddle

~ Famous Top & Brat folk-song

by Chris Dangerfield

(sung to the tune of “If I Had A Hammer by Peter, Paul & Mary)

If I had a paddle
I would paddle in the morning
I would paddle in the evening
All over this Land


I would paddle out danger
I would paddle out warning
I would paddle out the love
Between a Top and Brat
All over this land


If I had some soap
I would soap him in the morning
I would soap him in the evening
All over this land


I would soap out cussing
I would soap out swearing
I would soap for respect
Between a Top and Brat
All over this land


If I had a husband
I would love him in the morning
I would love him in the evening
All over this land


I would keep him out of danger
I would keep his backside heated
I would sing out the love
Between me and my man
All over this land


I have a paddle
And I have the soap
And I have a giant love
Just for this man


It's the paddle of justice
It's the soap of respect
And a love to sing about
For my Husband and Family
All over this land
