Dad Rap
Spare the rod and spoil the child
Too much candy’s gonna make you wild.
Off to bed now, it’s eight o’clock
I ain’t Dr. Spock
Do your homework. Make your bed.
Have you heard anything I’ve said?
That kitchen floor sure needs a mop.
Your whining has got to stop.
~
Look at me when I talk to you. Sit up straight in your chair.
I don’t care what the other kids do, You ain’t going nowhere.
Who owns this house your living in?
Who bought those clothes you wear?
You’re the joy of my life, but your giving me strife
Not to mention my gray hair.
~
Didn’t you hear me when I said hurry?
Come on now your making me worry.
Can you explain why you’re going so slow?
It’s almost time to go.
Clean the basement. Rake the yard.
Don’t tell me that your life is hard.
Didn’t you hear me when I said “No.”?
That attitude has got to go.

No, You can not take the car.
If you can’t walk, it must be too far.
Don’t even think about staying out late.
You know I’m going to wait.
Now promise me that You’ll be good.
News travels fast in this neighborhood.
Until you walk back through that door,
I’ll be wearing out the floor.
~
Don’t look like that when I talk to you.
What did you do to your hair?
I’ve done all that I can do.
Who are you trying to scare?
Who are these kids your hanging with?
What is that thing you wear?
You’re the joy of my life, but your giving me strife
Not to mention my gray hair.
