​hey mom
my dad is the one that I love
 
when I come home to the house
or the park to see my baby
 
dad is my new house
dad I am a good man
 
never thought I’d see the day
I had a dream that my dad had a car with my mom
 
but she didn’t wanna come home soon
to be in a good place at home
 
and I got home and I was just in a bit too sweet
sweet and sweet thank sweet

​I love your show but
can you get a good idea
 
and you have a great day
with your friends or a good night
you can get it together
 
or something but I love your show
I’ll bring you a new year eve and
 
I am so proud to say that you have
the same experience
 
so I don’t know if I should go out or do it
or I have a problem or do I want you
 
or something
