• Walk a little slower, Dad
  Cos I am only small.
  I'm following in your footsteps,
  And I don't want to fall.
  Someday when I'm all grown up.
  You're what I want to be;
  Then I will have a little child,
  Who'll want to follow me.
  And I would want to lead just right,
  And know that I was true;
  So, walk a little slower, Dad,
  For I must follow you.
  A very very very Happy Birthday Dad
