Lyrics
We're dropping off and picking up
We're hands-on but not helicopter
We're modern dads devoted
To nurturing our children
We're checking in and staying in touch
Respecting our wives' needs and their wishes
We're thoughtful and unselfish
At least, we'd say, for the most part
We're family men
First and foremost
These days we like a quiet life
How things have changed
Since we were first friends
But we're still close, so that's alright
We're staying in and watching telly
In our sloppies and our slippers
And trying to convince our children
We were actually pretty cool once
We wash and we clean and we tidy,
We paint and we fix and assemble
We've a new-found respect for our parents
Whose housework we took for granted
We're family men
First and foremost
These days we need an early night
How things have changed
Since we were first friends
But we're still close, so that's alright
We got less time
And we got less energy
But we make the most of the little we got
And it means a lot
