Squeeze

Squeeze - To Be a Dad lyrics

(Difford/Tilbrook)

I lost the children

But they can be found

Home in a red house just across town

Sitting in boxes

Of opened up toys

Watching The Simpsons

And making some noise

I lost the children

But they're in great hands

When I cook the dinners

Right out of tin cans

I lost the children

And I have to pay

Some heavy duty on life everyday

Cupboards need filling

With deadlines to meet

Here in my cheque book

My fountain pen weeps

I should be thankful

And thankful am I

I went to the cleaners

And came back with my life

For a moment it all looked so grim

It looked like I would not get a thing

For a moment it all looked so sad

But now it's so good to be a dad

I lost the children

They haven't lost me

We're still together and happy to be

Out in the summer

On beaches in parks

Home in the winter and up with the larks

I should be thankful

And thankful am I

I went to the cleaners

And came back with my life

From pushchairs to games of football

My back was against every wall

For a moment it all looked so sad

But now it's so good to be a dad

For a moment it all looked so grim

It looked like I would not get a thing

For a moment it all looked so sad

But now it's so good to be a dad

I lost the children

They haven't lost me
