I was watching Jimi Hendrix on TV and there was this girl with him who, at 2am after a couple of beers looked strikingly like my daughter! From day one our children look up at us and know who we are but for us Dads it can take a little longer before the penny drops.
He took her hat and threw it hard
It came to rest in the schoolyard
So she took his specs from off his face
Sir Isaac Newton took care of the rest
She's hard my daughter's hard
She's only six but don't cross her
Watch out here she comes lock up your sons
(She takes right after her mother)
She's hard my daughter's hard
There's no doubt in the world she's a nutter
But when she's with me it's plain to see
She melts and softens like butter
There's Gregory Peck on Sunday TV
Chasing poor Moby Dick all over the sea
Then the camera pans past a harpooner's bum
Like a flash she turns round and she winks at her mum
She's hard my daughter's hard
She's only six but don't cross her
Watch out here she comes lock up your sons
She takes right after her mother
She's hard my daughter's hard
There's no doubt in the world she's a nutter
But when she's with me it's plain to see
She melts and softens like butter
There's Jimi Hendrix in his big limousine
There's a pretty young girl there beside him
He offers her wine she drinks from the cup
In a trick of the light oh my daughter's grown up
Hard no it's not hard
Why ever else would we do it
We drew back the bow then let it go
Hit the target and carried on through it
Hard of course it's not hard
There's no better reason for living
Cause when she's with me it's plain to see
I get much more than i'm giving
