Being a dad isn't so bad
Except that you got a freedom
You gotta shoe em and clothe em Try not to loathe em
Hug em and hug em and hate em
Being a dad
can sure make you mad Man,
it even can drive you crazy
It's as hard as it looks You gotta read em dumb books
When you end up despising Walt Disney
Being a dad starts to get radical
When they turn into teenagers You gotta tighten the screws
Enforce the curfews Confiscate weapons and pagers
Having a daughter and a
son Can be sort of fun
Just as long as they don't defy you They'll treat you like a king
They'll believe anything There isn't a frightening lie to
Being a dad
Being a dad
Can
make you feel glad When you get paperweights and aftershave motions
Yeah it feels pretty great When they graduate
That's when you're choked with emotions
But being a
dad takes more than a tad Of good luck and divine intervention
You need airtight alibis Full proof disguises
Desperation's the father of invention
So sometimes you take off
For a few rounds of golf And you
stay away for half of their lifetimes
The result of it all is you're captured And
hauled up before a tribunal for dad crimes
Being a dad
Being a dad
Can
make you feel sad Like you're the insignificant other
Yeah right from the start They break your heart
In the end every kid wants his mother
Being a dad
Being a dad
