[00:01.179] BUDDY
[00:02.072] A dad who's a million miles away
[00:08.520] When he meets me, who knows what he'll see
[00:12.993] But deep down I know I shouldn't be afraid
[00:18.237] 'Cause he's bound to be a lot like me
[00:22.382]
[00:22.382] And we'll make angels in the snow
[00:29.796] Till the snow begins to blow
[00:32.710] Then we'll run inside and start a tickle fight
[00:37.349] And if it's too cold to sled
[00:41.457] We'll eat gingerbread instead
[00:44.005] And then cuddle till he tucks me in at night
[00:49.607]
[00:49.607] And we'll have our pictures taken
[00:51.985] For the Christmas cards we're makin'
[00:54.159] Him and me in suits of matching plaid
[00:58.085]
[00:58.085] And when people see us walking
[01:00.161] They'll be google-eyed and gawking
[01:01.821] At buddy and the world's
[01:05.337] Greatest dad
[01:07.498]
[01:08.304] MR. NARWHAL
[01:08.304] Bye, Buddy. Hope you find your Dad
[01:10.069]
[01:10.069] BUDDY
[01:10.069] Thanks, Mr. Narwhal.
[01:11.844]
[01:11.844] We'll spend mornings holding hands
[01:14.241] Holding hands and making plans
[01:16.020] On whether to play jacks or kick-the-can
[01:19.439]
[01:19.439] Then for lunch a gingersnap
[01:21.296] And a nap to fill the gap
[01:23.306] Before building forts and playing superman
[01:26.640]
[01:26.640] And if his back gives him a spasm
[01:28.703] Well, every good dad has 'em
[01:30.512] I'll bring him cocoa and a heating pad
[01:33.781]
[01:35.888] It's a scene inside a snow globe
[01:35.888] It's a very apropos globe
[01:37.518] Just buddy and the world's
[01:40.385] Greatest dad
[01:44.890]
[01:45.891] (BUDDY arrives in New York.)
[02:24.673]
[02:24.673] We'll share a whole fruit cake slice by slice
[02:27.750] Making sure not one single crumb drops
[02:30.463] And if I were to say, “I'm in a Christmas play”
[02:34.647] He wouldn't miss it for a million gumdrops
[02:37.518]
[02:37.518] When I fall and scrape my knee
[02:41.384] He'll kiss that knee for me
[02:43.008] And make that booboo better in a jiff
[02:46.562]
[02:46.562] And if I should get a cold
[02:48.137] Or just allergies from mold
[02:49.847] He'll gazoontite me with his own handkerchief
[02:53.161]
[02:53.161] And if ever thing turn gloomful
[02:55.108] I'll know that there's a roomful
[02:56.754] Of hugs and jokes to make it seem less bad
[02:59.841]
[02:59.841] I can't hide my admiration
[03:01.697] For that perfect combination
[03:03.544] Of buddy and the world's
[03:05.900] Greatest dad
[03:10.291]
[03:10.291] So I'm gonna try my best to be
[03:13.271] Everything he'd expect of me
[03:16.396] And I promise that I won't stop
[03:19.459] Until I'm done
[03:23.118] So some day you can say I'm the world's greatest son
