[Verse 1]
[C]Come me little son[F]
and I will [G]tell you [C]what we'll do
Undress yourself and [F]get into [C]bed
and a tale I'll tell [F]to you
It's all [C]about [F]your daddy,
[C]he's a man you seldom [F]see
He's had [C]to roam [F]far away from home,
away [C]from you and me
But remember, lad, [F]he's still your dad,
[C]though he's working far [F]away
In the cold [C]and heat,
[F]eighty hours a week
on England's [C]motorway
When you fall [F]and hurt yourself
and get [C]up feeling bad
Yet his aunt Annie
[F]used to go [C]a -runnin' for [F]your dad
For [C]the only time since [F]you was born
[C]he's had to stay with [F]you
He was [C]out of a job and we
[F]hadn't a bob
He was [G]signing on [C]the pro
Remember lad, he is [F]still your dad
[C]and he really earns his [F]pay
Working [C]day and night
[F]upon the side
[G]of England's [C]motorway
To buy your shoes,
[F]your daddy built a [G]length [C]of railway track
He built a hy[F]dro dam
to [C]buy the [Am]clothes [C]upon your [F]back.
This motor [C]highway [F]buys the food,
but [C]the wages soon [F]are spent.
And though [C]we have [F]to live apart,
it [G]helps to [C]pay the rent.
But remember lad, he is [F]still your [C]dad,
and he's toiling [F]every day.
But there's [C]food to be had,
and it's [F]thanks to your dad
on [G]England's [C]motorway.[F][G]
[C]Sure we nee[F]d your daddy here,
and [G]sure it would be [C]fine
To have him workin' [F]near [C]home
and to see him all the [F]time
But beggars [C]can't [F]be choosers
and [C]we have to bear [F]our load
For [C]we need the money
[F]your daddy earns a -work[C]in' on the road
So remember that he [F]is still your dad
[C]an d he'll soon be here [F]to stay
For [C]a week or two [F]with me
and you
and he's built [C]the motorway
