Daddy Knows Best

"Daddy Knows Best" is a song written by Alex Ebert of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros fame. It appears in SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical. In this song, Mr. Krabs tells his daughter, Pearl, about how important money is, but, as a counterpoint, Pearl wants her father to listen to her and that she does not want to take over the Krusty Krab.
== Lyrics ==
: Mr. Krabs: Life is short and the end is near
: It's important to identify what you hold dear
: It's clear, Pearl, your daddy always knows best
: Pearl: I am not in the mood for a teaching moment right now.
: Mr. Krabs: Let me tell you what counts more than all the rest!
: Money money matters most
: Money money I can boast
: Money money make a toast to
: Money, money, money! Ha!
: Pearl: You just don't understand me! I know we're not the same species but that doesn't mean that money's—
: Mr. Krabs: Me money makes funny things funnier
: Sunny things sunnier
: Nothing's crummier than no bread
: Pearl, your daddy always knows best
: Pearl: Daddy, would you just listen to me—
: Mr. Krabs: Pearl, let me show you how deeply we're blessed
: Money money in this drawer
: Money money 'round this door
: Money money from the floor
: Money, money, money! Ha!
: Pearl: I should be my daddy's greatest prize
: But instead he's got dollar signs in his eyes
: Daddy, you just don't understand
: All I care about is rockin' out with my favorite band
: Oh the feeling that it creates
: When I hear the Electric Skates
: Mr. Krabs: Can you hear it, Pearl?
: Ensemble: Money money money money etc...
: Pearl: Daddy, can you hear me?
: Can you hear me at all?
: Pearl: Daddy!
: Can you hear me?
: Can you hear me?
: Oh, daddy
: Daddy

: Daddy can you hear me?
: Can you hear me?
: Can you hear me?

: Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy
: Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy
: Daddy!	
: Mr. Krabs: Money money in the air
: Money money everywhere
: Money money to the chair
: Money
: Money
: Money
: Ha! Money money I'll stay true
: Money money just us two
: Money money I love you
: Money money
: Money money
: Money money
: Money money
: Money money, money money, money money, money money
: Money money, money money, money money, money money
: Mr. Krabs: I'm sorry, Pearl, were you trying to say something?
