My father was a wise man in life, and, he always taught me how to weigh

Life in the right way, father was a fine man, spic'n'span

He wore slick suits, shoes, boots, a pair of baggy pants

Father was a good man, a true man, he taught me what to say

And he taught me what not to say, father was a nice man

The right man, and I will never ever see a man like my old man.

My father was a real man, a he-man,

He loved his wife all his life up to this day

Father was a straight man, a strict man,

He brought us up, w/ a soft yet firm hand

My father was a brave man, a proud man,

He stood by the things he said and had to say

Father was "THE" man, I understand,

And I will never, ever know a man like my old man
