Dad,

      

 

     If ever there stood a better man,

     although there never will,

     I'm sure he'd never be as fun,

     a s great or such a thrill.

     

     He wouldn't take u s camping,

     or for bike rides at the park,

     he'd neve r sing us "Danny Boy",

     or go swimming in the dark.

     

     He wouldn't let us watch thunderstorms,

     even though it was too late,

     and he'd never give us what we want

     without much of a debate.

     

     So dad, if ever stood

     a better man than you

     

     He'd never be as kind, as sweet

     or generous it's true.
