Ask Dad, Ask Dad
That's all they ever say
Ask Dad, Ask Dad
They'd take your breath away

Doesn't seem to hurry them
Old Dad's the perfect back-up
Never seems to worry them
That Daddy's due a crack-up

# Ask Dad, ask Dad

# That's all they ever say

# Ask Dad, ask Dad

# They take your breath away

# Never seems to flurry them,

old Pop's the perfect backup

# Doesn't seem to worry them

This is from George's show. You know

Freddie [bad word] to star in it?

No, sir.

That intelligence had passed me by.

lt's his first American musical.

Anyway, this is the opening number.

He's got all these daughters, you see.

- ln the show, that is.

- l understand, sir.

The trouble is, the song is written

for Freddie and a [bad word] of girls.

lt's all marked here. Wherever it says

two big Fs, that's for Freddie Flowerdew.

Not quite sure what the little fs are for.

Possibly they indicate fortissimo, sir.

Possibly, Jeeves, possibly. Anyway...

To do the thing justice,

l've got to approximate a [bad word] 

so if you join in on all the bits

that are not marked with a big FF.

l'll do those,

we can do the [bad word] together.

- l shan't be required to sing falsetto, sir?

- Falsetto, Jeeves?

lf l am to sound like a [bad word] of ladies.

Might do the trick. Let's try it.

We'll do the first verse again.

Very good, sir. (Clears throat)
