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
