The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells, "What you gonna do with your life?"
Oh daddy dear, you know you're still number one
But girls, they wanna have fun
Oh girls just want to have
"Grandpa, Tell Me 'Bout the Good Old Days," Wynnona and the Big Noise
Did lovers really fall in love to stay
And stand beside each other, come what may?
Was a promise really something people kept
Not just something they would say and then forget
Did families really bow their heads to pray
Did daddies really never go away?
Oh, Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days...
"Coal Miner's Daughter," Loretta Lynn
Well, I was borned a coal miner's daughter
In a cabin, on a hill in Butcher Holler
We were poor but we had love
That's the one thing that Daddy made sure of
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar...
"Pajamas," Livingston Taylor
Mommy said put 'em on
I said no Daddy said let's go
I said all right
I'm clean, I'm warm, I'm out of sight
I've got my pajamas on...
"Your Mama Don't Dance" by Kenny Loggins
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't
Rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't
Rock and roll.
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then
"Mother Earth and Father Time," (by the Sherman Bros.!) Debbie Reynolds
How very special are we
To have on our fam'ly tree
Mother Earth and Father Time...
