Lyrics
Grandpa was a gardener, he made the flowers grow
Grandma with a knack for goodness that would always show
Granddad was a carpenter, he worked on buildings tall
But dad worked on the greatest thing of all
Dad was a mechanic, he'd always fix your car
Mama truly loves him so, to her he is a star
He was happy just to raise a little family
And keep the wolves at bay, never living beyond his means
When I thought dad was crazy, it turned out he was right
I know that his kindly ways shaped my outlook on life
Some things we see different, but the goal is still the same
Dad would always keep hands free to hold when it would rain
He did his part during the war when men went off to fight
Dad was a radio scientist, he helped keep the planes in flight
Then he was a railroad man when we began to crawl
Dad worked on the greatest thing of all
When I thought dad was crazy, it turned out he was right
I know that his kindly ways shaped my outlook on life
Some things we see different, but the goal is still the same
Dad would always keep hands free to hold when it would rain
Dad is a hero, however big or small
He taught us how to kneel and pray, and how to stand tall
He always seemed to know it all when we began to fall
Dad worked on the greatest thing of all
Dad worked on the greatest thing of all
Dad worked on the greatest thing of all
