The Home That Poppy Built
Poppy is an architect
And a builder of dreams
Imagine it, he'll make it so
He enjoys his work, but he loves his family
He and Sandra had a son
Julian, that's me
Yeah, I want to follow in his footsteps
Be half the husband, father, and man as he
So, I fell in love with Gia
And we had Grant and Blake
We're all Poppy's biggest fans, 'cause Poppy's
Built the greatest home anyone could ever make
Grab a cigar and sit awhile
We'll toss in a line
Tell a joke and laugh a bit
Until everyone feels fine
Sure, you build a house with glass and wood
But a home with unconditional love
Poppy built ours warm as a summer breeze
And spacious as the sky above
See, Poppy's family's bigger than most, including
Childhood and college friends
There's Duke and Mike and Ricky
There's Gerry, Andy and Jim
Whether phone calls or golfing trips
They keep the laughter strong
At the yearly Pinehurst rounds
Seems they've never been away too long
Well, that's the lesson I want to share
About a father from his son
See, I look up to him in all things
Except for fishing, that's the only one
Don't believe his lies
He still can't out-fish
He can't out-fish his son!
Grab a cigar and sit awhile
We'll toss in a line
Tell a joke and laugh a bit
Until everyone feels fine
Sure, you build a house with glass and wood
But a home with unconditional love
Poppy built ours warm as a summer breeze
And spacious as the sky above
Grab a cigar and sit awhile
We'll toss in a line
Tell a joke and laugh a bit
Until everyone feels fine
Sure, you build a house with glass and wood
But a home with unconditional love
Poppy built ours warm as a summer breeze
And spacious as the sky above
And a builder of dreams
Imagine it, he'll make it so
He enjoys his work, but he loves his family
He and Sandra had a son
Julian, that's me
Yeah, I want to follow in his footsteps
Be half the husband, father, and man as he

Until everyone feels fine
Sure, you build a house with glass and wood
But a home with unconditional love
Poppy built ours warm as a summer breeze
And spacious as the sky above
