You Are — текст песни (Bobby Bare)

(Shel Silverstein)

Who`s the greatest singer in the land (you are)
Who`s the world`s most sweetest kindest man (you are)
Who`s gonna give you some ice-cream
If you sing this thing just right (you are) oh, outside.

Now who`s the handsomest man in Tennessee (you are)
Who`s the trunk of this old family tree (you are)
And when ye kids get old enough to work
Who`s gonna live off you (you are) yeah, that`s true.

You are the world`s greatest father (thank you kids)
No matter what you say you`re never wrong (you`re right)
And it`s so nice of you to bother (it ain`t no bother)
To teach us this equal silly song.

Now who`s the one who watches while you grow (you are)
Who`s the one who whipes your dirty nose (you are)
Who`s gobnna treat you better than any daddy ever did (you are)
Oh, thank you kids.

You are the world`s greatest father
No matter what you say you`re never wrong (you got there right)
And it`s so nice of you to bother (it ain`t no bother)
To teach us this equal silly song (just keep singin` now.)

Who`s the one that buys you all your clothes (you are)
Who`s the one who let ye sing on all his shows (you are)
Who`s gonna make more money off you than any daddy ever did (you are)
Thank you kids...
