[Verse 1]
C C
Give it a whirl, give it a try
C C
Why don't you sleep out, start living high?
C C
You're on your own, you make your bed
C C
No time for wasting, just look ahead
[Chorus]
F C
Your poppa don't mind what you do or say
F C
You can't surprise him anymore
F C
He's got a reputation that he don't look back
F Dm G C
Your poppa don't mind at all
[Verse 2]
C C
You're getting old, it's getting late
C C
It's soon tomorrow, so celebrate
C C
Bring it out and go to town
C C
Before you're thinkin' of settling down
[Chorus]
F C
Your poppa don't mind what you do or say
F C
You can't surprise him anymore
F C
He don't believe in Heaven like a good man should
F Dm G C
Your poppa don't mind at all
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
C C
Finding out is half the fun
C C
And when you find out don't try to run
C C
And if you know then you've begun
C C
But if you don't know it's still to come
[Chorus]
F C
Your poppa don't mind what you do or say
F C
You can't surprise him anymore
F C
He talks about his women and his old school tie
F Dm G C
Your poppa don't mind at all
[Outro]
F C
Your poppa don't mind what you do or say
F C
You can't surprise him anymore
F C
He don't believe in Heaven like a good man should
F Dm G C
Your poppa don't mind at all
F Dm G C
Your poppa don't mind at all
F Dm G C
Your poppa don't mind at all
