Count On Me

You can count on your fingers You can count on your toes You count all the petals On a newly blossomed rose You can count on an abacus You can count apples on a tree But, most of all You can always count on me You can call on a phone Using a mobile or land line You can call for a pizza They deliver all the time You can call for a recount You can even call on your PC But, if there’s anything you need You can always call on me You can travel by boat or plane You can travel by car You can travel locally Or you can travel away far You can travel around the world You can travel anywhere But, wherever your travels take you I can always travel there You can find yourself a spouse You can have a couple of kids You can marry the church Like Sister Teresa did You can wed the same sex Even if others think it’s bad But, no matter what you do I’ll always be your proud Dad
