Father's Day
________________________________________
Lyrics by Harry Ruby, made famous by Groucho Marx.

Today, father, is father's day,
And we're giving you a tie.
It's not much we know,
It's just our way of showing you
We think you're a regular guy.

You say that it was nice of us to bother.
But it really was a pleasure to fuss,
For according to our mother,
You're our father,
And that's good enough for us.
Yes, that's good enough for us.

Here’s Groucho singing this memorable ditty on the Dick Cavett show, c. 1970:

Thanks for the memories. If I say the magic word, will my father reappear? Or just that dumb duck?
