Liner Notes:

I'll get this recorded later, but for now, here's the lyrics.

Lyrics:

Being A Dad
By Stuart Benbow

Verse 1
Wake the kids up early so they'll have time
Send them to the shower one at a time
So they'll be clean,
And ready to leave.

Verse 2
Make sure that their clothes all match
Remind them that they can't wear that
Try to get them to go
But they move real slow

Chorus
Getting kids to move with any speed
Rounding them up so that you can leave
Try to hard, and it can drive you mad
Herding cats ain't got nothing on being a dad

Verse 3
Make sure that they've both brushed their hair and teeth
Remind them that they need something good to eat
Point out that they need a coat
Hand them backpacks as they head out the door

Chorus
Getting kids to move with any speed
Rounding them up so that you can leave
Try to hard, and it can drive you mad
Herding cats ain't got nothing on being a dad

Bridge
you can scream, you can beg and you can plead
You can raise your voice or take away their things
Until they're ready things will never change
Herding cats ain't got nothing on being a dad

Chorus
Getting kids to move with any speed
Rounding them up so that you can leave
Try to hard, and it can drive you mad
Herding cats ain't got nothing on being a dad
Oh herding cats ain't got nothing on being a dad
