Whitmer Thomas - Dancing with My Dad lyrics

I know he's got a lot on his mind
He's had a wild life
Two sons, a foreclosure,  and three wives

Now he's back on track
Did ninety days in rehab
He's kept a job as a
Paralegal for a year and some change

He's seeing a woman named Gail
Invited her to the firm's
Holiday party but she never got back

And the music rings loud from the other room
I don't know what to do daddy, do you?

Well, my dad is so sad yes, my dad is so sad
I've got a sad dad yes, my dad is so sad

I don't know what to do daddy, do you?

He calls me to say, "Happy holidays"
Says all he wants for Christmas
Is for me to get my oil changed
But I can hear the sadness in his voice
I say, "Are you alright?"
He says, "Son, yes, I'm okay
I never thought I'd be in my sixties
Sober, alone at the holiday party"

And the music rings loud as he taps his feet
Think I know what to do
Daddy, I'm coming for you

I'm gonna dance with my dad
Gonna dance with my dad
Gonna dance with my dad
Gonna dance with my dad
Yes I know what to do
'Cause daddy, I'm coming for you

And so I slide into the room
And his coworkers are near
And I got my sunglasses on
And a printed copy of my IMDb
They're all so impressed with the man
That you raised me to be

Daddy now ooh
Daddy now ooh

I'm dancing with my dad
I'm dancing with my dad
I'm dancing with my dad
I'm dancing with my dad
Yes I know what to do
'Cause daddy, I love you daddy now
Ooh

I'm dancing with my dad
I'm dancing with my dad
I'm dancing with my dad
I'm dancing with my dad
Yes I know what to do
'Cause daddy, I love you

I'm dancing with my dad
(Dancing with my dad)
I'm dancing with my dad
I'm dancing with my dad
(Dancing with my dad)
I'm dancing with my dad
I'm dancing with my dad
I'm dancing with my dad
(Dancing with my dad)
I'm dancing with my dad
I'm dancing with my dad
(Dancing with my dad)
I'm dancing with my dad
