Proud Of You

Proud Of You

(Hal David)

Oscar Rabin & his Romany Band


Take 2 on Vinyl Test


Though you're such a tiny little boy
Honey, you are daddy's pride and joy
I don't know what to do
And I don't know what to be
But if you're straight and true
You'll be wonderful to me

You'll make your daddy proud when you begin to walk
And climb up on his knee and talk your baby talk
The day that you do, your daddy will be Proud Of You

When you grow big and strong
Perhaps you'll fill the screen
Or build a mighty bridge
Or write a symphony
Whatever you do, your daddy will be proud of you

Perhaps you'll never write our name
Upon the golden scroll of fame
But if you always play the game
Daddy will be happy , just the same

So make your daddy proud
To say this is my lad
He'll try to make you proud
To say, this is my dad
If that's all you do, your daddy will be proud of you.

Daddy will be proud of you
