WALKING DOWN THE STREET
THE MORNING’S BRIGHT AND COOL
HOLDING DADDDY’S HAND
THINKING ‘BOUT MY DAY AT SCHOOL
HOPE I SCORE A GOAL IN GYM
GOT MY HOMEWORK DONE
WONT MY TEACHER BE SURPRISED
GONNA HAND IT IN WITH A SMILE IN MY EYES
HOPE I GET THE BONUS PRIZE
WE GET TO THE CORNER
AND STOP FOR A RED LIGHT
WHAT’S THAT SOUND I HEARS?
IT’S SO LOUD I GRAB MY EARS
(SOUND OF SIRENS AND TRAFFIC) DADDY:
THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE
GONNA ASK MY SWEETHEART TO BECOME MYWIFE IT’S DADDY SINGING
MY FACE GOES RED
WHY HE DOES IT I DON’T KNOW
IT’S WHAT I DREAD
I DON’T LIKE TO BE RUDE
BUT AS ALL CAN PLAINLY SEE
STOP IT DAD YOU’RE EMBARRASSING ME!
WE WENT TO THE DOCTOR
I’M CHECKED UP ONCE A YEAR
IN THE WAITING ROOM DAD READS
– I’M FILLED WITH FEAR
WILL I NEED TO GET A SHOT?
I’M WORKING ON A PUZZLE
I’M GETTING PRETTY CLOSE
TRYING TO GET MY MIND OFF
THAT NEEDLE WITH THE DOSE
ALL THESE KIDS HAVE COLDS IT’S GROSS!
THEN I SEE THE NURSE
SHE’S STARTING TO APPROACH
WHAT’S THAT SOUND I HEARS?
IT’S SO LOUD I GRAB MY EARS!
(SOUND OF A BABIES CRYING)
“NOPE’ DADDY:
THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE
GONNA ASK MY SWEETHEART TO BECOME MYWIFE
GOT A RING IN MY POCKET… IT’S DADDY SINGING
HE’S OUT OF TUNE
HE’S GOT A WARBLING VIBRATO THAT
REMINDS ME OF A LOON
I DON’T LIKE TO BE RUDE
BUT AS ALL CAN PLAINLY SEE
STOP IT DAD YOU’RE EMBARRASSING ME!
SOME DAD’S THEY FISH SOME LIKE TO READ
SOME LIKE TO SLEEP, SOME LIKE TO WEED
SOME LIKE TO THINK SOME LIKE TO DRINK
SOME LIKE TO TINKER
SOME DAD’S TELL STORIES ‘BOUT A LITTLE KID
SO SMART AND TOUGH AND CLEVER ENOUGH
EVENTUALLY HE’S ABLE TO BE KING!
MY DAD LIKES TO… SING
THE DAY IS ALMOST DONE
THE LAST DAY OF THE TERM
ALL EYES ARE ON THE CLOCK
THERE’S NOTHING LEFT TO LEARN
SEEMS AN AGE TILL THAT BELL RINGS
MY CLASS WE GET DISMISSED
I’M HANGING WITH MY FRIENDS
WHAT’S THAT SOUND I HEARS?
IT’S SO LOUD I GRAB MY EARS!
(SOUNDS OF SCHOOL BEING LET OUT)
“NOPE” DAD:
THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE
GONNA ASK MY SWEETHEART TO BECOME MY WIFE
GOT A RING IN MY POCKET
AND MY BEST SUIT ON
AND I’LL BE MARRIED ‘FORE THE DAY IS GONE
(TWO TIMES) ITS DADDY SINGING
HE KNOWS ONE SONG
AND HE ALWAYS MAKES UP NEW WORDS
AS HE BELTS THE TUNE ALONG
I DON’T WANT TO BE RUDE
BUT AS ALL CAN PLAINLY SEE
STOP IT DAD YOU’RE EMBARRASSING ME
ITS DADDY SINGING
(THINKS HE’S THE BOSS
BUT SPRINGSTIEN DOESN’T SOUND AS IF
HIS TEETH ARE FULL OF FLOSS
I DON’T WANT TO BE RUDE
BUT AS ALL CAN PLAINLY SEE
STOP IT DAD YOU’RE EMBARRASSING ME)
ITS DADDY SINGING
HE SINGS SO BAD
HE’S GOT A LACK OF RYTHMIC SENSE
THAT IS PATHETIC IF NOT SAD
I DON’T WANT TO BE RUDE
BUT AS ALL CAN PLAINLY SEE
STOP IT DAD YOU’RE EMBARRASSING ME
DID YOU SAY SOMETHING? |
