You showed me everything
Oh, you took me by the hand

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 there's something you should know

I want to make it clear,
So I'm going to sing it slow

If you weren't a man,
And my father, too,

I'd buy you a diamond ring,
And then I'd marry you.
