Fairweather Father Lyrics

Fairweather father
Fairweather father
Fairweather father (Fairweather father)
Doesn′t like to hear the baby cry
Doesn't like to know about the aches and pains
Of the day gone by
Of the day gone by

But the mother advertised as a bargain wife
She′d make things easy for the rest of his life
And to make herself more appealing
She'd think only of him and forget her own feelings
Oh

Fairweather father
Fairweather father
Fairweather father (Fairweather father)
Wants his wife to be a truck driver
Wants his wife to be the gardener
And still look like a Hollywood starlet
And still look like a Hollywood starlet

So the mother gets mad and she leaves town
And that brings the father and the baby down
She wants the father to find her
Drinking orange pop in a seedy Greek diner
Oh

Fairweather father
Fairweather father
Fairweather father (Fairweather father)
Gets her back and gets up in the night
Loves her so much and holds the baby tight
Ain't that enough to make you cry?
Ain′t that enough to make you cry?

Na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na, na-na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Fairweather father
Fairweather father
Fairweather father (Fairweather father)
Doesn′t like to hear the baby cry
Doesn't like to know about the aches and pains
Of the day gone by
Of the day gone by
Of the day gone by, gone by
Of the day gone by, gone by, gone by
Fairweather father, gone by
