WRITER'S COMMENTS: This song was covered by Punchy for the independent film "Natural Selection", shown at the 1999 Austin Film Festival, which starred Michael Bowen (Magnolia), Darren Burrows (Northern Exposure), and Stephen Root (Seinfeld)..
We wake up every morning
rush downstairs to the car
Jump inside it with mummy
Her eyes are shining like stars
The sun's like something that God sent
The air's as fresh as our clothes
We're going to the golden arches
Our life's so perfect it glows
Everything's fine
Everything's fine
Daddy's a postman
Daddy's a postman
Daddy's a postman
Daddy's a postman
When we are old we won't have poverty or destitution
we will be able to afford a nursing home or an institution
and Daddy's a postman
Black skin white picket fences
Jewels we bought for a dime
When I came to my senses
The golden arches were mine
And everything's fine
Everything's fine
Cause daddy's a postman
Daddy's a postman
