Hi ho hey, what you wanna do today
Let’s go to the park and play
Hi ho hee – do you want to dance with me?
Let’s be a family.

I put this song in your ear like a note in your lunchbox
To let you know that I love you from mornin’ until the sun drops down
And from the evenin’ till the moment the sun pops up
So basically there’s no time that the love stops
Now here’s a little thought just for flippin’ your lid
Most of what you’re doing now your parents did as a kid
Somebody said adults are just kids playin’ grown up
That’s true, but sometimes this game makes us go nuts.
The world spins; we start spinnin’ like whirlwinds
The best cure for that is to listen to children
Kids know everything – not like time tables and math
More like keepin’ your mind able to laugh
When I’m sad about life and how hard it can be
I see my kid smile and think, Man, she’s smarter than me.
My daughter can see the truth that life’s awesome
So often, she finds my smiles and brings them back when I lost ‘em
Hey, kid – you’re my favorite child to play with
Let’s make this playground into a spaceship
Then grab mom and blast off to outer space
And stay there till the year runs out of days
Keep teachin’ – I’ll try to learn your lessons alright
Just know that I’m a proud papa for the rest of my life.
So many days to play – yep, your pops has them.
Sometimes I forget, though, so never stop asking.
