Granddaddy

A daddy to some
A granddad to others
But a great granddaddy to me

At age ninety-five 
You still give me high fives
Such a great, great granddaddy you seem

A daddy to some
A granddad to others
But a great granddaddy to me

The laugh I enjoy so much
Comes from the granddad I love a bunch
You are wonderful to all I believe
 
A daddy to some
A granddad to others
But a great granddaddy to me

Golf is what you like to play
You also like to fish in the bay
And together we like to eat ice-cream

A Daddy to some
A Granddad to others
But a Great Granddaddy to me

Grandma calls you dad
Which isn't at all bad
But Your Granddaddy Dickinson to me

A Daddy to some
A Granddad to others
But a Great Granddaddy to me
