Oh, Casey
Come on, it's time to come in for dinner
Why?
Because it's dinner time
Why?
Mom has everything on the table and we're all waiting for you
Why?
So we can start. Come on now, this is family time here
Why?
Well, so we can all talk together
Why?
You know, we like to ask you questions about
How your day went at school
And you can ask us questions
And stuff like that
Why?
Because I said so
Because I said so
Cuz I'm the Dad, and that is all you need to know
Because I said so (because I said so)
Because I said so (because I said so)
And that's as far as this discussion has to go
Oh, Emma
Come on, honey, it's time to wake up
Why?
Well, because it's school time
Why?
Because that's when school starts and you're a big school girl
Now come on and have some breakfast
Why?
Well, studies have shown that children who start the day
With a nutritious breakfast are able to do higher level thinking
And retain more information and, look, Emma
Just come and get your clothes on, would you?
Why?
Because, because you can't go to school naked!
Why?
Because I said so
Because I said so
Cuz I'm the Dad, and that is all you need to know
Because I said so (because I said so)
Because I said so (because I said so)
And that's as far as this discussion has to go
Although I'm happy to explain, there are times I simply must refrain
Let me make my meaning crystal clear
I'm the parent, you're the child
And though I really hate to cramp your style
When all is said and done the buck stops here
Oh, Timmy
Come on, Timmy, it's time to go to bed
Why?
Because you need your sleep
Why?
Well see, Timmy, when you're sleeping your body
Grows and you're a growing boy
And you want to grow up big and strong, don't you?
Why?
Well if you grow up big and strong
You can be big and strong like your dad
Why?
Well then you get to be a dad
Why?
Well that's just the way it works, Tim
Besides, I'll get to be the grandpa then
And I'll laugh when I hear you say
Because I said so
Because I said so
Cuz I'm the Dad, and that is all you need to know
Because I said so (because I said so)
Because I said so (because I said so)
And that's as far as this discussion has to go
Why?
