lyrics

That’s my dad.

He could fix anything, well that was understood
Need something making, he’d make it out of steel or wood.
He was always so precise, only got electrocuted twice.
That’s my dad.

He was contented in a world of discontent
Didn’t always mean what he said but he said what he meant.
After some philosophical beers, he said “You live your life between your ears”
That’s my dad

He loved his wife and his family
He loved nature and Beethoven too

We only saw eye to eye the older we both grew
I know he was just a man and for that I love him too
He wont be happy at all, ‘cos we spent too much money on his funeral
That’s my dad.
