Lyrics:
[Intro]
(My baby Bunky, she's so bright and spunky)
(And I love her)

[Verse 1]
I call my baby Bunky
She's so bright and spunky
And I love her
Though there's others I'll spend time with
Maybe share my last thin dime with
I put none above her
Whenever she comes a-runnin'
To do a little funnin'
I'm so glad (I'm so glad)
Whenever she turns away
And goes outside to play
It makes me sad
Now people, once you kiss here
You find out you can't resist her
She's only nine
Though there's lots of othеrs out there
And I'll be glad to show you whеre
But Bunky's mine

[Verse 2]
Now when I'm out there on the road
Feelin' that heavy load
With small crowds to greet me
I go on and sing my song
'Cause I know when I get home
Bunky's there to meet me
And it's "Daddy, what you bring me?"
(What you bring me?)
"What song are you gonna sing?"
(What you gonna sing me?)
As we come down the walk
It's sure 'nuff in my pocket
There's a pretty little locket
I give her as we talk
(My baby Bunky, she's so bright and spunky)

[Verse 3]
Hey, Bunk
Hey, Dad
How you doing?
Fine
You been a good girl?
Well, sort of
Did you miss me?
Yeah
I miss you too, can I have a kiss?
Yeah!
Oh wow, can I have one more?

[Verse 4]
When I'm out there on the stage
Crowds all the way
Screamin' for more
And I thank the Lord who made me (Who made me)
The one more time he gave me (He gave me)
The strength, oh, to carry on
And sing my song
And make it known

[Chorus]
I love my baby Bunky
She's so bright and spunky
Yes I do, you would too
(I love her) Oh, come on
(I love her) I love her
I love my baby Bunky
She's so bright and spunky
Yes I do, you would too
(I love her) I love my baby Bunky, mmm
(I love her) I love her, you would too
I love my baby Bunky, ha
She's so bright and spunky (Yes I do)
Yes I do, you would too
(I love her) I love my baby Bunky, oh
(I love her) Yes I do
I love (I love my baby Bunky)
(She's so bright and spunky) Love my baby
(Yes I do, yes I do)

[Post-Chorus]
You know I just wanted to record something
About my baby daughter
Her name is really Tyronza, but (I love her)
I gave her the name Bunky when she was a baby
(I love my baby Bunky) Oh, I love her
(She's so bright and spunky, yes I do) Bunky
(Yes I do) You would, too
I love my baby Bunky, yes I do (I love her)
Mmm

[Outro]
(I love my baby Bunky) Love her
Oh, I love her (She's so bright and spunky)
I love her (Yes I do)
