We hGave a dear old daddy
For A7whom we daily pray,

He sD7tepped upon his whiskers
And walked up to his Gchin.

To strain the gasoGline.

He D7ties his whiskers 'round his waist
And gaily plunges Gin.

They D7hide the dirt on father's shirt,
They're always in the Gway.

He D7pins a pretzel on his nose
To keep his whiskers cGlear.

The A7cows eat them for hay,
They D7hide the dirt on father's shirt,
They're always in the Gway.

[Verse 1]

We have a dear old daddy

For whom we daily pray,

He's got a set of whiskers,

They're always in the way.

[Chorus]

Oh, they're always in the way,

The cows eat them for hay,

They hide the dirt on father's shirt,

They're always in the way.

[Verse 2]

Father had a strong back,

Now it's all caved in,

He stepped upon his whiskers

And walked up to his chin.

[Chorus]

Oh, they're always in the way,

The cows eat them for hay,

They hide the dirt on father's shirt,

They're always in the way.

[Verse 3]

We have a dear old mother,

With him at night she sleeps,

She wakes up in the morning

Eating shredded wheat.

[Chorus]

Oh, they're always in the way,

The cows eat them for hay,

They hide the dirt on father's shirt,

They're always in the way.

[Verse 4]

We have a dear old brother,

He has a Ford machine,

He uses father's whiskers

To strain the gasoline.

[Chorus]

Oh, they're always in the way,

The cows eat them for hay,

They hide the dirt on father's shirt,

They're always in the way.

[Verse 5]

We have a dear old sister,

It really is a laugh,

She sprinkle's father's whiskers

As bath salts in her bath.

[Chorus]

Oh, they're always in the way,

The cows eat them for hay,

They hide the dirt on father's shirt,

They're always in the way.

[Verse 6]

Father has a daughter,

Her name is Ella Mae,

She climbs up father's whiskers

And braids them all the way.

[Chorus]

Oh, they're always in the way,

The cows eat them for hay,

They hide the dirt on father's shirt,

They're always in the way.

[Verse 7]

Around the supper table

We make a merry group,

Until dear father's whiskers

Get tangled in the soup.

[Chorus]

Oh, they're always in the way,

The cows eat them for hay,

They hide the dirt on father's shirt,

They're always in the way.

[Verse 8]

Father fought in Flanders,

He wasn't killed, you see,

His whiskers looked like bushes

And fooled the enemy.

[Chorus]

Oh, they're always in the way,

The cows eat them for hay,

They hide the dirt on father's shirt,

They're always in the way.

[Verse 9]

When father goes in swimming,

No bathing suit for him,

He ties his whiskers 'round his waist

And gaily plunges in.

[Chorus]

Oh, they're always in the way,

The cows eat them for hay,

They hide the dirt on father's shirt,

They're always in the way.

[Verse 10]

Father in a tavern,

He likes his lager beer,

He pins a pretzel on his nose

To keep his whiskers clear.

[Chorus]

Oh, they're always in the way,

The cows eat them for hay,

They hide the dirt on father's shirt,

They're always in the way.
