To Be A Dad Lyrics - Squeeze

(Difford/Tilbrook) 

I lost the children 

But they can be found 

Home in a red house just across town 

Sitting in boxes 

Of opened up toys 

Watching The Simpsons 

And making some noise 

I lost the children 

But they're in great hands 

When I cook the dinners 

Right out of tin cans 

I lost the children 

And I have to pay 

Some heavy duty on life everyday 

Cupboards need filling 

With deadlines to meet 

Here in my cheque book 

My fountain pen weeps 

I should be thankful 

And thankful am I 

I went to the cleaners 

And came back with my life

For a moment it all looked so grim 

It looked like I would not get a thing 

For a moment it all looked so sad 

But now it's so good to be a dad 

I lost the children 

They haven't lost me 

We're still together and happy to be 

Out in the summer 

On beaches in parks 

Home in the winter and up with the larks 

I should be thankful 

And thankful am I 

I went to the cleaners 

And came back with my life 

From pushchairs to games of football 

My back was against every wall 

For a moment it all looked so sad 

But now it's so good to be a dad

For a moment it all looked so grim 

It looked like I would not get a thing 

For a moment it all looked so sad 

But now it's so good to be a dad 

I lost the children 

They haven't lost me
