He staggered up the driveway, she opened up the door,
He was home drunk again like other times before;
A little girl stood by a chair and laughingly she said,
"Mommy, I can see him, funny, funny Dad."
She picked her up, she kissed her, she knew she did not know,
Daddy was the reason why her feet was bare and cold;
Whiskey had a-taken every penny daddy had,
But yet she loved him truly, her funny, funny dad.
One day he came home from work so very drunk, of course,
First he staggered, then he fell across her rocky horse;
As she stood among the broken parts of the only toy she had,
Saying, "Daddy can't ride horsey, Mom, funny, funny, Dad."
Her mommy's eyes filled with tears as she saw her baby there,
In a dress worn, old and torn, her feet so cold and bare;
She did not have the pretty things that other children had,
Because it cost too much to have a funny, funny dad.
[Spoken]
A crash was heard, and silence came, yeah it was his fatal day,
The truck driver was not to blame; no, he, he staggered in his way;
The little girl ran, she saw him there beneath the wheels and said,
"Sir, can I play hide and seek with you and funny Dad?"
I told her that her dad had gone to heaven for to stay,
That God He needed him up there so He took him away;
She said she understood Him, and she knew that God was glad,
To have someone as sweet as her funny, funny dad.
To have someone as sweet as her funny, funny dad.
