Lyrics
He's up before the farmers and by sunset he's in bed He drives a diesel hatchback and his vote is always red He writes in Hebrew, French, and Greek, and Latin, pig or not My dad is a bad ass. He smoked for thirty years and quit cold turkey like a boss He eats raw onions every day, and don't forget to floss He saves more souls than I corrupt and walks faster than I drive My dad is a bad ass. In his 30s college basketball was the perfect night at home With a six pack of Milwaukee's Best and a couple cheese Tombstones Now he's all about talk radio and brussels sprouts and tea My dad is a bad ass. He owns more shoes than Hepburn had, and his jokes are dry as dust He's a black belt on piano and he'll always have my trust He rescues kittens, won't wear mittens, collects old copper coins My dad is a bad ass.
