Dad Says That I Look Like Him
Dad says that I've got his nose, big and flat and long
He tells me that I look like him but Mom says he is wrong
Aunt Mary says I look just like my older brother, Wayne
Aunt Jennie says my hair's too long; I look like my sister Jane
I wish they'd stop comparing me to everybody else
"You walk like him," "You talk like her." I look just like myself

My grandma says I've got the eyes of my great-grandpa John
Uncle Dave says that I look just like my cousin's mom
Dad says that I'm built like him; Mom says Don't be so sure
Grandpa doesn't say too much. he sits all day and snores
I wish they'd stop comparing me to everybody else
"You walk like him," "You talk like her." I look just like myself

Dad says that I have his eyes. Mom says it isn't true
They say he must be blind and I know my eyes are blue
Mom says that I talk to much, but if you ask me
I look just like the milkman. Daddy says it couldn't be
I wish they'd stop comparing me to everybody else
"You walk like him," "You talk like her." I look just like myself
