A fun song for the opening of Father's Day 2010.

Lots of colloquial things to learn.

Ha ha
This is dad life
It's how we live
24/7, 365
Check me

Gas station glasses
Don't care what the masses
Think about me wit my sweet goatee
I'm rockin' my Dockers
With a cuff and a crease
I got that St. John's Bay
And a clip for my piece

I look nice
I got dozens of dollars
And that's right
It goes straight to my daughters and my wife
I'm a miracle dad
Makin' magic with the checkbook is a talent I have

I roll hard in the yard
With a 60-inch cut
Zero turn radius
My neighbors say what?
They be drivin' by
Peepin' my landscape
Yo, these greens got nothin' on my manscape

Hydrangeas (what), Begonias (naw)
Crape Myrtle (tight), ornamental turtle!
Hold up
Is that a weed in my fescue?
Aw naw, Round Up to the rescue

It's the dad life, it's the dad life
Take my daughty to the potty, it's the dad life
(bringin' home the bacon)
It's the dad life, it's the dad life
Shootin' vids of the kids, it's the dad life

Roll up to the splash pad, 10 AM
My whole entourage
Hops out the minivan
We splishy splashy for an hour or two
Then it's back to the house
Preppin' for the barbeque

Brats, dogs, rack of ribs, whateva (tight)
Get me on the Weber
Man, nobody does it betta
Call me lord of the grill
I'm king of the coals
Nana's secret recipe, you know how I roll

1080p, 16x9
I'm rockin' man cave status
With a screen like mine
Keep your peanut butter hands
Off my 50-inch Vizio
Pop up the corn, roll the Disney video

{ "A whole new world..." }

We got Aladdin, Jasmine
Abu, the genie (hey)
With kids like mine, everybody wants to be me
Sing a nigh-night song and then it's off to bed
This is the dad life, no more to be said

It's the dad life, it's the dad life
Hit the mall, coaching ball, it's the dad life
(bringin' home the bacon)
It's the dad life, it's the dad life
Playing rough, fixing stuff, it's the dad life
(bringin' home the bacon)
It's the dad life, it's the dad life
Yeah, you know how we do it
It's the dad life
