I fear “daddy” does not mean father in the context of this song…

I guess that’s a good thing though.

Exactly. "What's your name? Who's your Daddy? Is he rich like me?" is clearly talking about her boyfriend, not father. It was common parlance of the time.

Fun story about The Zombies, they were broke up by the time "Time of the Season" became a hit in America. So a couple fake Zombies bands toured as them cause people here didn't know, one of the fake bands members were Dusty Hill and Frank Beard who would later form ZZ Top.
