We’re gonna have a party, party, party
We’re gonna have a party, party, party
We’re gonna have a party, party, party
To celebrate my child
Come back to me
You were dead but, now you’re alive
And I’m so glad I have tears in my eyes
My son is back and I’ve got a big surprise
(Repeat chorus)
Here is my coat and here is my ring
And here is the key to everything
My son is back so joyfully I sing
(Repeat chorus)
The barbeque is fired up hot
We’re gonna cook up
All the steak we got
You thought I’d be mad
But now you know I’m not
I’m just so glad to be your Dad
When you were gone I was so sad
(Repeat chorus twice)
