World's Greatest Dad - Elf - Original London Cast.mp3

[00:01.179]BUDDY
[00:02.072]A dad who's a million miles away
[00:08.520]When he meets me, who knows what he'll see
[00:12.993]But deep down I know I shouldn't be afraid
[00:18.237]'Cause he's bound to be a lot like me
[00:22.382]
[00:22.382]And we'll make angels in the snow
[00:29.796]Till the snow begins to blow
[00:32.710]Then we'll run inside and start a tickle fight
[00:37.349]And if it's too cold to sled
[00:41.457]We'll eat gingerbread instead
[00:44.005]And then cuddle till he tucks me in at night
[00:49.607]
[00:49.607]And we'll have our pictures taken
[00:51.985]For the Christmas cards we're makin'
[00:54.159]Him and me in suits of matching plaid
[00:58.085]
[00:58.085]And when people see us walking
[01:00.161]They'll be google-eyed and gawking
[01:01.821]At buddy and the world's
[01:05.337]Greatest dad
[01:07.498]
[01:08.304]MR. NARWHAL
[01:08.304]Bye, Buddy. Hope you find your Dad
[01:10.069]
[01:10.069]BUDDY
[01:10.069]Thanks, Mr. Narwhal.
[01:11.844]
[01:11.844]We'll spend mornings holding hands
[01:14.241]Holding hands and making plans
[01:16.020]On whether to play jacks or kick-the-can
[01:19.439]
[01:19.439]Then for lunch a gingersnap
[01:21.296]And a nap to fill the gap
[01:23.306]Before building forts and playing superman
[01:26.640]
[01:26.640]And if his back gives him a spasm
[01:28.703]Well, every good dad has 'em
[01:30.512]I'll bring him cocoa and a heating pad
[01:33.781]
[01:35.888]It's a scene inside a snow globe
[01:35.888]It's a very apropos globe
[01:37.518]Just buddy and the world's
[01:40.385]Greatest dad
[01:44.890]
[01:45.891](BUDDY arrives in New York.)
[02:24.673]
[02:24.673]We'll share a whole fruit cake slice by slice
[02:27.750]Making sure not one single crumb drops
[02:30.463]And if I were to say, “I'm in a Christmas play”
[02:34.647]He wouldn't miss it for a million gumdrops
[02:37.518]
[02:37.518]When I fall and scrape my knee
[02:41.384]He'll kiss that knee for me
[02:43.008]And make that booboo better in a jiff
[02:46.562]
[02:46.562]And if I should get a cold
[02:48.137]Or just allergies from mold
[02:49.847]He'll gazoontite me with his own handkerchief
[02:53.161]
[02:53.161]And if ever thing turn gloomful
[02:55.108]I'll know that there's a roomful
[02:56.754]Of hugs and jokes to make it seem less bad
[02:59.841]
[02:59.841]I can't hide my admiration
[03:01.697]For that perfect combination
[03:03.544]Of buddy and the world's
[03:05.900]Greatest dad
[03:10.291]
[03:10.291]So I'm gonna try my best to be
[03:13.271]Everything he'd expect of me
[03:16.396]And I promise that I won't stop
[03:19.459]Until I'm done
[03:23.118]So some day you can say I'm the world's greatest son
