You showed me everything, you took me by the hands.
Puppy dogs and Lincoln Logs and castles made of sand.
You gave me the courage to spread my newborn wings,
Like mayonnaise and marmalade and other spreadable things.
So I guess you are my hero, and theres something you should know,
I want to make it clear, so I'm gonna sing it slow.
If you weren't a man and my father, too,
I'd buy a diamond ring and then I'd marry you.
