lyrics

oh no, we're going to be late
for a 3 fingered american little dude date
i'm a dad, this is my son:

hey how do you do?

i've been really looking forward to this son, how about you?

i've been really looking forward to it too dad
if we didn't make it i'd start crying it'd hurt my feelings real bad

of course we're going to make it
gotta pay your dues

going down to the alley in my real cool shoes

dave's waiting with his ball in bag
with his polish rag waving
really sets the stage for a
plate of frings and a bottle of soda

my favorite ball is blue, so i carry it over
my name is on the screen my fingers in the holes
my team is cheering me on for the perfect bowl

he releases the ball
like i'm dropping the mic
the pins go flying as the crowd screams

strike

my son's bowling through his time tock tick
his number's going 0 to 300, dude, real quick

my dad breathes deep and it does the trick
his numbers go 0 to 300, dude, real quick

my son rolls with a flicka da wrist
his numbers going 0 to 300, dude, real quick

my dad eats frings till he's feeling sick
his numbers go 0 to 300, dude, real quick

my brow gets sweaty as i’m facing the lane
my sons getting ready for the perfect game
but i’m getting nervous as his numbers grow higher
and my numbers stay the same its getting down to the wire

come on dad, it is just a game
but i’m still going to the hall of fame

i start swinging the rock, just as hard as i dare,
but it's a gutter ball

don't worry dad you’ll pick up a spare

my son's bowling through his time tock tick
his number's going 0 to 300, dude, real quick

my dad breathes deep and it does the trick
his numbers go 0 to 300, dude, real quick

my son rolls with a flicka da wrist
his numbers going 0 to 300, dude, real quick

my dad eats frings till he's feeling sick
his numbers go 0 to 300, dude, real quick
