## 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
