Tune: One Little, Two Little
One little, two little, three little hugs.
Four little, five little, six little hugs,
Seven little, eight little, nine little hugs,
Ten little hugs for Daddy.
One big, two big, three big hugs,
Four big, five big, six big hugs,
Seven big, eight big, nine big hugs,
Ten big hugs for Daddy 
 
 
 Hush little baby, don't say a word,
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
 And if that diamond ring turns to brass,
Daddy's gonna buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Daddy's gonna buy you a billy goat.
 And if that billy goat won't pull,
Daddy's gonna buy you a cart and bull.
And if that cart and bull turn over,
Daddy's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.
And if that dog named Rover won't bark,
Daddy's gonna buy you a horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town! 
 

Tune: Yankee Doodle
Daddy is my special friend -
The two of us are buddies,
I really love the things we do -
"Thank you" to my Daddy. 
 
 
 Tune: This Old Man 
Father's Day, Father's Day
Is a very special day.
Here's a great big hug,
And lots of kisses too.
Each one says that I love you!  
 
 
 Happy Father's Day to you!
Happy Father's day to you!
Here's a special card I made,
Happy Father's day to you!
 
 
 Rhyme:
Some dads work in an office,
Some dads drive a bus,
Some dads work at a restaurant,
Making some dinner/food for us.
 Some dads work at a fire station,
Some dads work at a mall,
MY dad works at a ________
I like that most of all.
 
 
 I love you Daddy, oh yes I do!
I love you Daddy, and all you do.
When you're not home with me, I'm blue,
Oh Daddy I love you.
 
 
 I miss you, Dad, on Father's Day,
And every other day too,
I think about you all the time,
And I hope I see you soon.
 
 
When Daddy puts me on his back,
I seem so very high,
I can see so far away,
And I can touch the sky.
 
 
 Chant
Dad, dad, daddy, it's your day!
Dad, dad, daddy, it's your day!
It comes around just once a year,
So celebrate and give a CHEER
'Cause dad, dad, daddy it's your day!
 
 
 Chant (Can substitute papa, dad, etc)
Daddy, daddy, he's the man!
If he can't do it, no-one can!
A super guy in every way -
That's why we give him a special day!
FATHER'S DAY!!!
