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
