Dad On The Run... Lyrics.

The name for my blog was inspired by Paul McCartney's "Band on the Run" which has always been a favorite of mine. I think I finally have the lyrics down for a parody version of the song, now if I can just find a reader with the talent to put it to music we'll have a theme song. I've always wanted a theme song. Haven't you?

Dad On The Run

Stuck inside these four walls
Sent inside forever
Never seeing no one, nice again,
'Cept you, daughter.
and you son and you Mama...

If I ever get out of here

Wish I could just get away.
From this daily hilarity.
All I need is five pints a day
If I ever get out of here
If we ever get out of here

Well the milk exploded with a mighty crash
As it fell onto the floor
And the first child said to the second one there
You better run for the door! Here comes Dad on the Run!

Dad on the run; Dad on the run
And the diaper man, and dancing Dad,
Entertaining everyone
I'm the Dad on the run. Dad on the Run, Dad on the Run.

Well, the at-home Dad drew a heavy sigh
Seeing no one else had come
And the bell was ringing time to prepare
For the kids on the run,

Dad on the run; Dad on the run
And the diaper man, and dancing Dad,
Entertaining everyone
I'm the Dad on the run. Dad on the Run, Dad on the Run.

Well the night was falling
As the house began to settle down
In the living room tyrants search everywhere
But the lovey will never be found

Dad on the run; Dad on the run
And the little girl, who held a grudge
Will stay awake forever more.
Poor Dad on the run. Dad on the Run. Dad on the Run...



Here is one of my favorite covers of the song in question:
