Father and Son Songtext
von Flight of the Conchords

Hey Dad
Yes son?
I thought today was a lot of fun
Hey son
Yes Dad?
Today was the funnest day a Dad ever had

Building castles in the sand
Just you and I
Driving round in the car
I even let you drive
Eating dinner from a can
Dad′s yummy can delight
Just a guy and his little guy

Son, I know it's hard to watch your Daddy cry
It hasn′t been easy since your Momma died
But don't you worry, we'll be alright
Remember we′re a family just you and I


You know very well Dad, Momma didn′t die
She just hooked up with another guy
His name's Trevor and now they live together
That′s where you pick me up on Friday's nights

Don′t you wonder where I go?
You always go for a while
You never ask me where I've been
Don′t want to cramp your style
When I see you on weekends
You always make me smile
That's the smile of my (your) little guy

Hey Dad can I sit on your knee?
Got questions about the world that are troubling me
Tell me every question that you have for me
And tell me does your Momma still mention me?

When I grow up what will I do?
Will I be a fireman or work in the zoo?
You can do anything that you choose
The world is at the feet of a kid like you


Just a boy and his Dad
Just a Dad and his kid
Hanging out together
I'd like to live on the moon
Or maybe live on a star
Or will I be like you Dad and live in the car?

You can′t live on a star you′ll disintegrate to ash
And where you spend your nights is dependent on cash
Will I fall in love and will it be forever
Or will she leave me one day for someone like Trevor?

Well you just never know how love will end
But never ever introduce her to your handsomest friend
Just a boy and his Dad
Just a Dad and his kid
Hanging out together

Since your Momma ran away
Been thinking about your lonely little heart every day
But you, you don't need to feel so sad
You′ve still got your dad

Since your Momma ran away
No, she didn't run away
I think about your lonely little heart every day
Dad she′s living in our old place
But the two of us we don't need to feel so sad
I′m not sad

Because you've still got Dad (because I've still got Dad)
And another even cooler Dad
Ever since your Momma ran away, she passed away then ran away
Oh she wished she did it years ago
I′ve been trying to think of the right words to say
Dad, she calls you an asshole
But the two of us we don′t need to feel so bad
I'm not sad

Because I′ve got two Dads (because you've still got your Dad)
And Trevor bought me a brand new bike
Love has not been the same when she went away
Trevor lets me watch anything I like
And I′ve been thinking about my lonely little heart every day
Eat ice cream on weekday nights
But you know what makes me feel so glad?
I'm not sad

Because I′ve still got Dad (I'm still your dad)
I'm still your biological Dad
Hey Dad, can I sit on your knee?
Questions about the world that are troubling me
No son don′t you sit on my knee
You′re too big now, you're thirty-three

You′ll always be my little guy
I'll always be your little guy
But you′re thirty-three (but I'm thirty-three)
