Back in the Day
Back in the day
my dad was not my friend
We were like strangers 'till the bitter end
The stick was too far up his butt to bend
He couldn't, I wouldn't
"Walk with me, son!"
Back in the day
the soft stuff went unsaid
To say 'I love you' filled the man with dread
My father said it once and then dropped dead
You can't have feelings when you wear the pants!
"Come on, let's dance!"
Who is this person and what has he done with my father?
(Shuffable change!)
Decades of silence, now he has something to say!
(And turn!)
There was a time I loved this
Now why does he bother?
It's really too bad if only we'd have this talk
back in the day!
"Nice! Try this one!"
"There's a lot about me that you don't know!"
"Back at ya!"
It's really too bad, if only we'd have this talk back in the day!
"Watch this dad!"
"Good job, buddy!"
"Thanks, dad!"
"And when you see Rebecca
give her this!"
"Sure, dad! What is it?"
"A pre-nup!"
"A pre-nup?!"
"Yeah!"
"You couldn't have brought up a pre-nup before now?"
"You're about to inherit a lot of money, son!
I'm just trying to protect ya!"
"But dad, I'm taking care of myself!"
"What you have to realize, son, is that 50 percent of all marriages-"
"End in divorce, I know!"
"No, they last. 'Till death do you 'part."
"What if I say no?"
"I'll simply get Henry to rejig your grandfather's trust so there's nothing in your name but debt! Who do you think you're dealing with, boy?"
"I'll speak to Rebecca..."
"Good job, buddy!
5, 6, 7!"
Back in the day
a man knew where he stood
he wed a girl from his own neighbourhood
she gave her word
you knew that word was good!
But no girl's priorities can shift.
"You get my drift?"
(Shuffable change!)
Thirty years old and I still can't stand up to my father!
Decades of silence, still you have nothing to say!
Why bother talking when talking is not worth the bother!
pathetic and sad!
I'll promise you, dad!
We'll have that talk!
One day!
One day...
Some day!
Shuffable change!
my dad was not my friend
We were like strangers 'till the bitter end
