I wrote a speech to my dad

Twenty-one pages long

He twisted my jokes and swallowed their meanings

It's alright, it's alright

A twelve year old math wiz
A
Came to me in my sleep

Which he kept to himself

He said I'd hate to be you
A
When the big day comes
D
The look on your face
A
Will be priceless
[Chorus]

it's okay
