Father's Day Parody of "I Am Free"

Previously, I wrote about the version of the worship song "I am Free" that we wrote for Mother's Day. Actually, that Tim Bauman, one of our guitarists, wrote. Well, now it's time for the Father's Day version, which we'll do this coming Sunday. Once again, Tim out-did himself. And once again, I'm sure, we'll see people smiling all across the congregation as we do this song.

Here are the lyrics Tim wrote. I hope Jon Egan, the song's author, is okay with this.

"I Am Free"

Verse 1
Today is Father's Day,
That's why we sing this tune
So just relax we say
Or golf all afternoon.
Do what you like to do,
Because we love you,
It's your day.

Chorus 1
We are free to mow (you are free to mow)
We are free to trim (you are free to trim)
We will do this all for you
'cause our love for you is true
And it's your day.

Verse 2
We'll take you out to lunch
How 'bout a T-bone steak?
And then to Dairy Queen
To buy an ice cream cake.
We'll do this all for you,
Because we love you
It's your day.

Chorus 2
We are free to mow (you are free to mow)
We are free to trim (you are free to trim)
We will do this all for you
'cause our love for you is true
And it's your day.
It's your day.

Ending Chorus
We are free to mow (you are free to mow)
We are free to trim (you are free to trim)
But I guess we'll have to pass
'cause the mower's out of gas
But it's your day.
Yes it's your day.

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.
