My father was a wise man in life, and, he always taught me how to weigh Life in the right way, father was a fine man, spic'n'span He wore slick suits, shoes, boots, a pair of baggy pants Father was a good man, a true man, he taught me what to say And he taught me what not to say, father was a nice man The right man, and I will never ever see a man like my old man. My father was a real man, a he-man, He loved his wife all his life up to this day Father was a straight man, a strict man, He brought us up, w/ a soft yet firm hand My father was a brave man, a proud man, He stood by the things he said and had to say Father was "THE" man, I understand, And I will never, ever know a man like my old man
