Jemaine Clement
Father and Son (Live in London)
[Bret, Jemaine, & Both]
Hey, dad
Yes, son?
I thought today was a lot of fun
Hey, son
Yes, dad?
Today was the funnest day a dad ever had
Building castles in the sand (Just you and I)
Driving round in the car (I even let you drive)
Eating dinner from a can (Dad's yummy can delight!)
Just a guy and his little guy
[Jemaine]
Son, I know it's hard to watch your daddy cry
It hasn't been easy since your mama died
But don't you worry, we'll be alright
Remember we're a family, just you... and I
[Bret]
You know very well, dad, mama didn't die
She just hooked up with another guy
His name's Trevor and now they live together
That's where you pick me up on Friday nights
[Bret, Jemaine, & Both]
Don't you wonder where I go?
You always go for a while
You never ask me where I've been
Don't want to cramp your style
When I see you on weekends
You always make me smile
That's the smile of (my/your) little guy
[Bret & Jemaine, & Both]
Hey, dad, can I sit on your knee?
Got questions about the world that are troubling me
Well, tell me every question that you have for me
And tell me, does your mama still mention me?
When I grow up, what will I do?
Will I be a fireman or work in a zoo?
You can do anything that you choose
The world is at the feet of a kid like you
Just a boy and his dad (Just a dad and his kid)
Hanging out together
I'd like to live on the moon, or maybe live on a star
Or will I be like you, dad, and live in the car?
You can't live on a star, you'll disintegrate to ash
And where you spend your nights is dependent on cash
Will I fall in love and will it be forever
Or will she leave me someday for someone like Trevor?
Well, you just never know how love will end
But never, ever introduce her to your handsomest friend
Just a boy and his dad (Just a dad and his kid)
Having fun together
Uh, uh
[Bret & Jemaine]
Since your mama ran away
Been thinking about your lonely little heart every day
But you, you don't need to feel so sad
You've still got your dad
Since your mama ran away
No, she didn't run away
I've been thinking about your lonely little heart every day
Dad, she's living in our old place
But the two of us, we don't need to feel so sad
I'm not sad because I've still got Dad
Because you've still got your dad
And another even cooler dad
Ever since your mama ran away
She passed away, then ran away
Mum said she wished she did it years ago
Been trying to think of the right words to say
And, Dad, she calls you an asshole
But the two of us, we don't need to feel so bad
I'm not sad because I've got two dads
Because you've still got your dad
And Trevor bought me a brand new bike
Not been the same when she went away
Trevor lets me watch anything I like
I've been thinking about my lonely little heart every day
Eat ice cream on weekday nights
But you know what makes me feel so glad
I'm not sad because I've still got Dad
Because I'm still your Dad
I'm still your biological dad
[Bret, Jemaine, & Both]
Hey, Dad, can I sit on your knee?
Got questions about the world that are troubling me
No, son, don't you sit on my knee
You're too big now; you're 33
You'll always be my little guy
I'll always be your little guy
But (I'm/you're) 33
