'Here comes the aeroplane
Open up. Neeeeeoooom.
Just one more and then that's enough
That's it, there. We're done.'

'Let me have a look at it?
Oh, you'll need an amputation!
No, I'm only having a laugh
A plaster should mend the situation.'

'Now what are you doing? Pedal!
That's why you keep hitting the ground.
Right, come lets brush you down
Get back in the saddle, once more around.'

'No, don't hammer like that
You'll break your thumb you ejit!
Here you pass me the screw
And just drill these little bits.'

'Where do I have to take you now?
Taxi to the cinema.
And you need more money off me?
You're as bad as your Ma.'

'He's a bit of a show-off,
Just a little bit of a prat.
I don't like the way he walks
I don't like him looking at me like that.'

'Now I don't want you to worry
These aren't the end of the world
Just do your best, we couldn't be more proud
That's my girl.'

Here's to sixteen years
With my amazing dad
Who's stuck by me no matter what,
Through thick and thin, good and bad.
