My dad's the greatest, as great as great can be
And that's the greatest, cause my dad's just like me.

Just the other day my dad went down into the cellar
Said he could fix that pesky leaking pipe
The wrenches wrenched, the hammers "hammed"
The saw, it saw the progress
My dad can mix those parts up,
different shapes and different types
When other plumbers come around
to check on dad's repair
They shake their heads in awe
and throw their hands up in the air.

My dad's the greatest, as great as great can be
And that's the greatest, cause my dad's just like me.

And when we're in a car you'd better watch out for our father
You haven't got a prayer if you're in the way
In fact you would be well-advised to listen a little harder
Cause dad is always yelling always has something to say
One day, the state police caught up, I think to give him praise
He was quiet, humble, dignified, the king of the highways

My dad's the greatest, as great as great can be
And that's the greatest, cause my dad's just like me.

Moms are the most wonderful you know they give us life
And my dad treats my mom just like a queen
She thinks dad's hysterical, with all his plots and schemes
She says he can't get "farther out", I wonder what she means
Of all the dads around the world my dad's the very best
And if I am gonna be like him, I'd better get some rest!

My dad's the greatest, as great as great can be
And that's the greatest, cause my dad's just like me.
