Dancing with My Dad

I know he's got a lot on his mind

He's had a wild life

Two sons, a foreclosure, and three wives

Now he's back on track

Did ninety days in rehab

He's kept a job as a paralegal for a year and some change

He's seeing a woman named Gail

Invited her to the firm's

Holiday party but she never got back

And the music rings loud from the other room

I don't know what to do

Daddy, do you?

Well, my dad is so sad

Yes, my dad is so sad

I've got a sad dad

Yes, my dad is so sad

I don't know what to do

Daddy, do you?

He calls me to say, "Happy holidays"

Says all he wants for Christmas

Is for me to get my oil changed

But I can hear the sadness in his voice

I say, "Are you alright?"

He says, "Son, yes, I'm okay

I never thought I'd be

In my sixties

Sober, alone

At the holiday party"

And the music rings loud as he taps his feet

Think I know what to do

Daddy, I'm coming for you

I'm gonna dance with my dad

Gonna dance with my dad

Gonna dance with my dad

Gonna dance with my dad

Yes I know what to do

'Cause daddy, I'm coming for you

And so I slide into the room

And his coworkers are near

And I got my sunglasses on

And a printed copy of my IMDb

They're all so impressed with the man that you raised me to be

Daddy now

Ooh

Daddy now

Ooh

I'm dancing with my dad

I'm dancing with my dad

I'm dancing with my dad

I'm dancing with my dad

Yes I know what to do

'Cause daddy, I love you

Daddy now

Ooh

I'm dancing with my dad

I'm dancing with my dad

I'm dancing with my dad

I'm dancing with my dad

Yes I know what to do

'Cause daddy, I love you

I'm dancing with my dad

(Dancing with my dad)

I'm dancing with my dad

I'm dancing with my dad

(Dancing with my dad)

I'm dancing with my dad

I'm dancing with my dad

I'm dancing with my dad

(Dancing with my dad)

I'm dancing with my dad

I'm dancing with my dad

(Dancing with my dad)

I'm dancing with my dad
