Hey daddy, can we go to the park?
Sorry baby, another day.
I have something else to embark.

Hi daddy, can we go to the beach?
Sorry babe, some other time.
I have something to reach.

Hey dad, can we go to the movies?
Sorry girlie, we'll go later
I have many duties.

Hey pops, can we go to the arcade?
Sorry love, we'll do it some other time.
I'm doing something divine.

Please daddy, you said we could go.
How many times do I have to say no?
Come on daddy, but you promised.
We'll do it in August.

Don't sit there and weep,
You know I make promises I can't keep.
