Song and lyrics[]
Lyrics:
Rebecca:
I just made a new buddy!
He and I bonded right away!
It was a piece of cake
with no emotional stakes!
I got only good things to say...
About my friends dad!
My friends dad!
It’s all the fun of having a dad
without the painful history!
Paula’s dad:
She has spunk!
Rebecca:
And he’s a literal drunk!
But that don’t bother me!
‘Cuz he’s not my dad!
He’s my friends dad!
It’s the happiest relationship
I’ve had with a man,
that’s a fact I must confess !
He doesn’t push my buttons,
‘Cept the buttons on this cute dress!
Paula’s dad:
Doot!
Doot!
Doot!
Rebecca:
It’s nothing but platonic,
his bigotry’s ironic!
Paula’s dad:
I like you!
You barely complain for a Jewish!
Rebecca:
Oh you!
If we were related
we’d probably fight a lot!
-wait what about Jews?
Paula’s dad:
Here, have some more booze!
Rebecca:
What was I saying?
Oh, well I forgot!
Glug, glug!
My friends dad!
My friends dad!
Paula’s dad:
And when she’s not around
I think about her naked!
