The Roots’ Tariq Trotter shows appreciation for all the dads out there with an original song. If you’re a dad, learn the song, and upload yourself rapping over the lyric video track (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVnuEtYWZyw) with the title, “Tonight Show Dad Rap” for a chance to appear in a Tonight Show Father’s Day music video. Lyrics below:
It’s bout time to show some love to who you call daddy
You see me out there on the course playing golf badly
Doing my daddy dance, in saggy pants as pops
I’m known for wearing my short shorts and black socks
With sandals, beer belly, love handles.
Who’s dear old dad? I’ll give a few examples
Look, I’m telling real important stories but nobody’s listenin’
My main interests are football, bowlin’ and fishin’
In the summertime, I never care what you’ll are doing.
Pardon me for showing plumbers crack, I’m barbecuin’
Or hiding out in the bathroom on the iPad
I say, “I missed you kids,” all I get is, “Hi Dad.”
My New Balance are gray. I might casually say:
“I’d be a star if I didn’t throw my talents away.”
But overall I’m your father so show me some respect
And with my fathers day gift, you better come correct
I feel like peace and quiet’s better than another tie
You say you love me, okay fine, I love you too. Good-bye.
