WALK A LITTLE PLAINER, DADDY
SAID A LITTLE BOY ONE DAY
I'M FOLLOWING IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS,
AND I WANT TO KNOW THE WAY
SOMETIMES YOUR STEPS ARE VERY PLAIN
AND SOMETIMES HARD TO SEE.
SO WALK A LITTLE PLAINER, DADDY,
FOR YOU ARE LEADING ME.
I KNOW THAT ONCE YOU WALKED
THIS WAY, MANY YEARS AGO,
AND WHAT YOU DID ALONG THE WAY
I'D REALLY LIKE TO KNOW.
FOR SOMETIMES I AM TEMPTED
AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
SO WALK A LITTLE PLAINER, DADDY,
FOR I MUST FOLLOW YOU
SOMETIME WHEN I AM ALL GROWN UP
YOU ARE LIKE I WANT TO BE
THEN I WILL KNOW A LITTLE BOY,
WHO WILL WANT TO FOLLOW ME.
AND I WOULD WANT TO LEAD HIM RIGHT,
AND HELP HIM TO BE TRUE.
SO WALK A LITTLE PLAINER, DADDY
FOR WE MUST FOLLOW YOU

Dad Comes Home

When Dad comes home it’s Holiday, just any time of year.
My Daddy makes me glad to see him when he’s here.
I think my Mom gets jealous, because I make a fuss,
But heck, I’ve got her all the time, and Dad comes home to Us!!

I greet him at the doorway. I like to get a hug.
I’d run to get there quicker but I stumble on the rug.
But Daddy always catches me, he watches me real good,
And I’d go off with him to work, at least, I wish I could.

But I must stay with Mommy, we need to practice smile,
So that we will be ready when he comes back after while.
It is a game like peek-a-boo. We play it every day.
We have to do it all the time. He’s not so good at play.
