My 2 Daddies (Can Beat Up Your 1)

One of the workshops I attended at Design Ranch included one with copywriter extraordinaire, Wayne Geyer (who, come to find out, also happens to have been a high school classmate for 2 weeks). I chose JJ as my inspiration, and what he might be saying ’bout Daddy and Papa if he could sing Country songs… (I’m thinking this will end up being a tee shirt as well)

My 2 Daddies (Can Beat Up Your 1)

Ever since I was a boy
‘Bout 2 or 3 months ago
People stop and stare at me
Everywhere I go

It’s not because my ears are big
Or that my skin is green
It’s cuz I got the 2 best Daddies
That you’ve ever seen

Y’see most kids got a mom and dad
And that’s just fine and dandy
But having me 2 awesome Dads
Comes in pretty handy

I got the nicest clothes in school
And I’ve been to Paris, France
So all those kids with regular folks
Well, they don’t stand a chance

Chorus:
You better think twice before pickin’ on me
And thinking we’re not a real family
I’m the luckiest boy and a fortunate son
My 2 Daddies can beat up your 1

I got 1 Dad to teach me ball
And take me fishin’ in the lake
I got another Dad who bakes a pie
Better’n Martha makes

You say your Daddy’s big and strong
And that he’s six foot four
But you put my 2 Dads together
And they’re about six foot more

Chorus:
You better think twice before pickin’ on me
And thinking we’re not a real family
I’m the luckiest boy and a fortunate son
My 2 Daddies can beat up your 1

Bridge:
Don’t you worry, don’t you tease
Just keep your feathers and tar
I hope I grow up to be half the man
My 2 Daddies are

Now some folks may get fretful
Or not understand my life
But my parents love each other
There just ain’t no wife

I never did get breast-fed
And no one sits down to pee
We all wear the pants in our house
And we’re as happy as can be

Chorus:
You better think twice before pickin’ on me
And thinking we’re not a real family
I’m the luckiest boy and a fortunate son
My 2 Daddies can beat up your 1
