Hey Dad
Hey dad, I met a big head today
Always boasting of sports, hey come see me play
Anything I wanted, he had one at home
From a mountain bike to a mobile phone
Hey son, these guys are all ten a penny
Manners they have not, whilst my boy you have many
They buy their friends and their allegiance is none
Your life has started, his has barely begun
Hey dad, he waffles in class, about this about that
Even being rude to the teacher, creating a spat
Where we try to learn and get on with our work
Constant interruption by this incompetent jerk
Hey son, one of these days his fingers will get burnt
And all in your class, will have forgotten more than he's learnt
As you get older, you will become wise to your surrounds
And I doubt very much, this big head will be around
Hey dad, I can always rely on you
To give me guidance and help see me through
Absorbing knowledge will be my life's learning curve
And this incompetent jerk, will get his just deserves
