Fairweather Father Lyrics - Carly Simon

Fairweather father 

Fairweather father 

Doesn't like to hear the baby cry 

Doesn't like to about the aches and pains 

Of the day gone by 

Of the day gone by 

But the mother advertised as a bargain wife 

She'd make things easy for the rest of his life 

And to make herself more appealing 

She'd think only of him and forget her own feelings

Fairweather father 

Fairweather father 

Wants his wife to be the truckdriver 

Wants his wife to be the gardener 

And still look like a Hollywood Starlet 

And still look like a Hollywood Starlet 

So the mother gets mad and she leaves town 

That brings the father and the baby down 

She wants the father to find her 

Drinkin' orange pop in the seedy Greek diner 

Fairweather father 

Fairweather father 

Gets her back and gets up in the night 

Loves her so much and holds the baby tight 

Ain't that enough to make you cry 

Ain't that enough to make you cry

Fairweather father 

Doesn't like to hear the baby cry 

Doesn't like to know about the aches and pains 

Of the day gone by 

Of the day gone by
