[The Tiger Lillies - Father's Song lyrics]

My son this news is quite a shock
I’m told you’ve done a runner
I suppose it’s all the same to you
If your family goes under
Oh father dearest father vienna called to me
And all in all I’d rather
Be here than in the bishopry oh father
So now you do betray me
The father that you love
Well may you be forgiven by a God above
So you left your job in Salzburg
Not content to run a choir
Not content with an honest buck
To see your heart’s desire
Oh father dearest father
Now I play to the Kaiser
And since I’ve moved to the capital
I’m wealthy and I’m wiser oh father father
So you do betray me the father that you love
Well may you be forgiven by a God above
And if that was not enough

To cause your father’s heart to break
Well now I hear you’ve set up house
With that nest of Weber snakes
Oh father dearest father
How my loins do yearn
And StPaul tells us it’s better
That we marry than we burn so father
So now you do betray me
The father that you love
Well may you be forgiven by a God above
Oh father amen
