[Verse 1]
Tell me where he comes from
At last I'll know where to go
Mommy says that when you look hard
You always find something
She says he's never very far away
He leaves very often for work
Mommy says, “Working is good”
Better than being in bad company
Right?

[Pre-Chorus]
Where's your dad?
Tell me where's your dad?
Without even having to talk to him
He knows what's wrong
Oh beloved dad
Tell me where you're hiding
I must've counted my fingers
At least a thousand times

[Chorus]
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where, where are you, where are you dad?
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where, where are you, where are you dad?
