    Story Behind the Song
    My father's full of great songwriting material. He refuses to listen to these songs, but other people seem to like them.

    Lyrics
    My dad, he watches television
    When he's not golfin', he's watchin' television
    He's watchin' golf on the television,
    My dad

    Oh, he likes half-moon cookies
    Folger's coffee, little two-percent milk
    Peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches,
    My dad

    Well, he talks about the Army
    Where he purified the water
    He hates Bill Clinton,
    My dad

    Oh me, oh me, oh my
    Oh me, oh my old man
    Talkin' 'bout my dad
    Talkin' 'bout my dad.

    My dad, he likes to tell jokes
    He's always good for a good clean joke
    My mom, she doesn't understand 'em,
    Dad's jokes

    Well, you see, he's real particular
    He's got a right way of doing things
    Everything is in its proper place for
    My dad

    He's long since been retired
    He's got his very own golf cart now
    He'll ride the green till the engine blows
    Go, daddy, go, daddy, go, daddy, go go go!

    My dad, he's got a load of children
    They all live right around the corner
    He says, "Thanks for leavin',"
    My dad.

    I think maybe I was ten or eleven
    He was late for dinner, but he had a big smile
    "I hit a hole in one today!" said
    My dad.

    Well, Dad, we never did play golf
    No, we never got too close
    Scary and beautiful like the ocean,
    My dad

    And I just stand by the shore and I stare
    I never did learn to swim in there
    I look into your deep, dark blues
    And daddy, sometimes I feel so...

    Dad, I got your cold sweaty feet
    I got your handsome smile
    I got your fear of gettin' lost
    I don't wanna get lost now

    He said, "Didja hear the one about the mushroom in a bar?"
    My mom she jumps in, she says, "Mushroom in a bar?!
    "Fred, what kinda ridiculous thing is that to..."
