Always My Dad is an Emmy-nominated song that Lisa wrote and sang in the finale of the Lil' Starmaker competition. She wrote it at the last minute because her father went over to help the other contestant.
Lyrics
- Lisa:
- Ladies and gentlemen, I have a confession to make. I didn't have my usual songwriter tonight, so I took a stab at writing my own song. Something that expresses what's really in my heart. Bernie, if you please.
- I'm in the final two,
- I should be happy.
- But all I want to do
- Is spend more time
- With my pappy.
- Now that you're gone, Dad,
- I miss you so much.
- And your threats against teamsters
- And techies and such.
- Your management style
- Is like Attila the Hun.
- You were vicious, malicious,
- But you got the job done.
- I'm sorry I hurt you,
- Now please don't be sad.
- You're no longer my coach
- But you're always my dad.
