Lyrics

Daddy?s Making Dinner

Music by George Hanlon
Words by Jeff Mondak

Daddy's making dinner
I've seen it all before
French fries black and burning
And meatloaf on the floor

Daddy's making dinner
The sugar bowl just broke
Fido ate the gravy
The House has filled with smoke

Daddy's making dinner
But I'm not getting thinner
Daddy's making dinner
And that's all right with me

Daddy's making dinner
But I'm not one to moan
Soon he will surrender
And go pick up the phone

Daddy made the dinner
Today's my lucky day
Dinner's in the trash can
And pizza's on the way!

Daddy's making dinner
But I'm not getting thinner
Daddy's making dinner
And that's all right with me

Daddy made the dinner
But I'm not getting thinner
Dinner's in the trash can
It's pizza night for me

Lyrics Jeff Mondak Music George Hanlon
