lyrics

When I was young/ I swam the sea/ from here over to France.
But before I left/ I had to teach/ the Rockettes how to dance.
Then from France/ I went to England/ for a holiday.
And there I spent some time/ teachin’ the Beatles how to play.

Then in Tibet I climbed/ highest mountain ever made.
It was lots more fun/ than wrestlin’ gators/ in the Everglades.
Then for a laugh I flew/ a rocket ship up to the moon.
But I couldn’t stay ‘cause I missed your mom/ and said I’d be back soon.

CHORUS
All these grand adventures/ sure they were lots of fun.
But they’re not half as wonderful/
as knowin’ you’re my son.
Lookin’ back on all those times/
I’ve just got to tell you kid.
You may be the greatest thing/ your daddy ever did.

You know that rainbow that we saw?/
Well that idea was mine.
But I said God could use it/
‘cause he thought it looked so fine.
And in exchange for rainbows/ God gave you to mom and me.
We got the good end of the deal/ as far as I can see.

CHORUS
