How Are You Going, Dad

Happy Father's Day! An upbeat pop song for the dad doing the unglamorous half at eleven at night, filling in the forms and turning the lounge room into an obstacle course, who never asks for anything.

Lyrics

Verse

Eleven at night, still forms to unfold

A pen from school and a coffee gone cold

Nine boxes down and he's going alright

Box ten says describe him. That's it for the night.

Chorus

How are you going, Dad

And nobody's asked you all year

Half the work, none of the talk

So sit yourself down. I'm right here.

Verse

He's turned the whole lounge room into a court

With cushions for cones and a chair for a fort

He calls it a warm-up, she calls it a game

And the physio's homework gets done all the same

Chorus

How are you going, Dad

And nobody's asked you all year

Half the work, none of the talk

So sit yourself down. I'm right here.

Outro

How are you going, Dad

And I'm right here
