Lyrics

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.
