My Hero

My dad's as brave as a dad can be,

I rate him Number One,
He's not afraid of the dead of night,
Or anything under the sun.
News Break
He's not afraid of a late-night film,
Full of horrors on the telly, Now why so loving, darling,
And is he afraid of skeletons ? And why the sudden kiss?
Not dad, not on your Nelly ! Youd help me with some little jobs?
For goodness sake, whats this?
He's not afraid of meeting ghosts,
He'd even smile and greet 'em,
And things that scare most dads the most,
My dad could just defeat 'em. Your face is clean for once, dear,
Your clothes without a crease.
He's not afraid of vampires, You saved your luncheon money?
Or a wolf-man come to get him, Will wonders never cease?
If Frankestein's monster knocked on our
door,
He wouldn't let that upset him.

My dad's as brave as a dad can be, No dropping of your school books,

And he's always ready to prove it. No shrieking, childish treble.
So why, when a spiders' in the bath, Today you are a lamb, love,
Does Mum have to come and remove it ? Where yesterday a rebel.

But surely youre some stranger,

No rage or hullabaloo.
Come closer, let me look, dear,
Can this be REALLY you?

Now were you struck by lightning

Or were you stunned at sport?
Ah now I see the reason.
Youve brought your school report!
