A Ripper of a Dad

(Verse 1) Hear the siren wailing, he’s in the big red truck, Whenever there’s a spot of bother, he’s our bit of luck. A firefighter through and through, a legend in his gear, But when he’s home and off the clock, we’re the ones he’s near. He’s our hero in the smoke, the bravest in the street, But he’s just our Dad at home, and that’s a bloody treat. (Chorus) Oh, Dad, you’re an absolute ripper, The best bloke in the lot! From the station to the footy field, You give it all you’ve got. A legend and a champion, through and through, Dad, we’re stoked to have a hero like you! (Verse 2) Grab the footy for a kick, head down to the park, He’ll show us how to mark a specky right before it’s dark. Then we’re jumping on our bikes, pedalling down the track, He’s always being kind, he’s always got our back. A casual stroll to Macca’s for a sundae and some chips, With a cheeky grin and a classic joke always on his lips. (Bridge) Even after a long night shift, he’s never too tired to play, He’s the heart of our backyard, every single day. With a big "G’day" and a massive hug, he makes us feel so tall, He’s the greatest Aussie legend, the finest of them all. (Chorus) Oh, Dad, you’re an absolute ripper, The best bloke in the lot! From the station to the footy field, You give it all you’ve got. A legend and a champion, through and through, Dad, we’re stoked to have a hero like you! (Outro) Our Dad, the firey... Our Dad, the footy star... We love ya, Dad— You’re the best there is, by far!
