[Verse 1: Vanessa]
You were a substandard dad
But the only one I've had
I grew up hearing your evil scheming down the hall
But when I look at this thing
It makes me wanna sing
Maybe you're not so bad a dad after all

[Verse 2: Vanessa]
At my first ever swim meet
You stepped on the other team's feet
At my recital
You clapped louder than you should

(Doofenshmirtz clapping)

[Verse 3: Vanessa]
But when you taught me how to drive
We actually made it home alive
I guess it's possible
Not every part of you
Isn't good

[Verse 4: Vanessa]
I know at times I would cringe
Like when you wore all that fringe
And when you went out of your way to catch that foul ball
(Angry shouts from surrounding people)

[Verse 5: Vanessa]
But this piece of plastic in my hand
Makes me finally understand
Maybe you're not so bad a dad
Not so bad a dad after all
