Lyrics

HE'S THE ONLY FATHER I?VE GOT

I DON?T PRETEND TO UNDERSTAND
ALL THE THINGS MY FATHER?S PLANNED
OR THE SPECIAL WISDOM THAT IS HIS DOMAIN
BUT WHAT?S THE DIFFERENCE IF I UNDERSTAND OR NOT,
HE?S THE ONLY FATHER I?VE GOT.

WHEN HE GETS BIT BY AN IDEA
THAT?S THE TIME I DISAPPEAR
JUST IN CASE THE STING IS WEAKENING HIS BRAIN
BUT WHAT?S THE DIFFERENCE IF HIS MIND IS PARTLY SHOT,
HE?S THE ONLY FATHER I?VE GOT.

HE HAS HIS DREAMS. MOST PEOPLE DO
BUT VERY FEW CAN DREAM ON SUCH A MAGNIFICENT SCALE.
I?D HATE TO SEE HIS DREAMS COME TRUE
FOR IF THEY DO, HE?LL DO A LOT OF HIS DREAMING IN JAIL.

WHAT IF HE MAKE A FEW MISTAKES.
EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES.
HE JUST MAKES A LOT TO SHOW WHAT NOT TO DO
AND SO I?VE GOT TO SEE HIM THROUGH,
THICK OR THIN, HOT OR HOT.
HE?S THE ONLY FATHER I?VE GOT.

(4 BARS OF MUSIC)

BUT WHAT?S THE DIFFERENCE IF HIS MEMORY?S NOT TOO HOT.
HE?S THE ONLY FATHER I?VE GOT.

(4 BARS OF MUSIC)


BUT WHAT?S THE DIFFERENCE IF HIS PLANS ALL GO TO POT.
HE?S THE ONLY FATHER I?VE GOT.

HE?S ALWAYS GLAD TO GIVE ADVICE
AND ONCE OR TWICE I FOUND IT WASN?T ENTIRELY BAD.
AND THOUGH HE?S MAD WITH HIS ADVICE
THAT?S JUST THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR HAVING A COLORFUL DAD.

WHAT IF HE MAKES A FEW MISTAKES.
EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES.
HE JUST MAKES A LOT TO SHOW WHAT NOT TO DO
AND SO I?VE GOT TO SEE HIM THROUGH
THICK OR THIN, COLD OR HOT.
HE?S THE ONLY FATHER I?VE GOT.
