Call me Daddy

The sweet sound of your own name
Nothing else is quite the same

You want it to be your babies’ first word
From their lips to your heart, daddy is heard

Nothing brings you more joy inside
Or fills your heart with more pride

Something you’ve earned by sacrifice
So having your child say it is nice

Call me daddy!

Mommy, mommy, come and see
I climbed a big tall apple tree

I’m jealous of my daddy name
Don’t make changing it a game

I enjoy the hugs and kisses
But that don’t make me a Mrs.

There’s one thing that I insist
Something lately you’ve missed

Call me daddy!

Mommy, mommy, come and see
I found a yellow bumble bee

For the hundredth time, that’s not my name
Moms and dads are not the same

We’re different in ways I can’t say
As spirits, God made us that way

I love you, so I’ll try to be nice
Listen, I don’t want to tell you twice

Call me daddy!

Mommy, mommy, come and see
I met a three-girl just like me

Trying to be the patient dad
I bite my tongue and don’t get mad

Boo-bear, what you’re saying is absurd
Not just a slip-of-the-tongue or careless word

Do you really want two mommies?
Then call me daddy, PLEASE!

Okay, mommy-daddy
