Daddy, please listen, I’m talking to you,

For things you’ve been doing and still do,

After all the midnight drinks.

After not yelling at me for the glass clinks,

After all the times you helped me with homework,

After all the times I acted like a jerk.

After all the times you dried my tears,

After all the times you got rid of my fears.

After all the piggy-back rides you gave me,

You have brought me to see,

After all the times you helped when my goose

as cooked and broiled,

Gee! I sure am spoiled.
