To watch me play
To rock your baby
In her tiny armchair.
Daddy come home
To make me fries
To clean my dress
From crayon lines.
Daddy come home
To cut my cake
Don’t you know?
I turned twelve now.
Daddy come home
I just got dumped
He made me cry
Please make me fine.
Please make me fine.
Daddy come home
I am starving in pain
Mummy says our money
Has all gone down the drain.
Daddy come home
Let's go see my workplace
I’d also like to take you
Tonight, on a dinner date!
Daddy come home
You are already delayed
Why you so mum?
What’s keeping you away?
I’ve come, old man!
Would you want another try?
Would you want to rewind?
Would you rather be alive?
To all dads who are never there.
