Flight Of The Conchords - Father And Son Lyrics
Hey Dad
Yes Son?
I thought today was a lot of fun
Hey Son
Today was the funnest day a Dad ever had
Building castles in the sand
Just you and I
Driving round in the car
I even let you drive
Eating dinner from a can
Dads yummy can surprise
Just a guy and his little guy
Son I know it's hard to see your Daddy cry
But it's been pretty rough since your Mother died
But stay strong, stay tough my little guy
Cause we can be a family just you and I
You know very well Dad Mumma didn't die
She just hooked up with another guy
His names Trevor and now they live together
That's where you pick me up on Fridays nights
Dont you wonder where I go?
You always go for a while
You never ask me where I've been
Don't want to cramp your style
When I see you on weekends
You always make me smile
Just the smile of my little guy
Just the smile of my little guy
Hey Dad can I sit on your knee?
Got questions about the world that are troubling me
Well tell me all those questions that you have for me
And tell me does your Mother still mention me?
When I grow up what will I do?
Will I be a Fireman or work in the Zoo?
You can do whatever whatever you choose
The worlds at your feet well it's all up to you
Just a boy and his Dad
Just a Dad and his kid
Hanging out together
Together
I'd like to live on the moon
Or maybe live on a star
Or will I be like you Dad and live in the car?
You can't live on a star you'd be burnt into ash
And where you spend your nights is just a matter of cash
Will I fall in love and will it be forever
Or will she leave me someday for someone like Trevor?
You just never know how love will end
But don't let her spend time with your handsomer friend
Just a boy and his Dad
Just a Dad and his Kid
Hanging out together
Together
Since your Mumma passed away
No, she did't pass away
I think about your lonely little heart every single day
Oh she's living in our old place
Together we don't need to feel so bad
I'm not sad
Because I've still got Dad
Because you've still got Dad
And another even cooler Dad
Since your Mumma ran away
Oh she wished she did it years ago
I think about your lonely little heart every single day
Oh Pappa she calls you an asshole
But you don't need to feel so sad
I'm not sad
Because I've got two Dads
Because you've still got Dad
And Trevor bought me a brand new bike
Since your Mother ran, since your Mother ran and passed away
Some of us really do other things and I
I think about your lonely heart your lonely heart every day
That's where I go on weekday nights
But the two of us have got, the two of us got to be quite glad
I'm not sad
Because I've still got Dad
Because you've still got Dad
Hey Dad can I sit on your knee?
Got questions about the world that are troubling me
No Son you can't sit on my knee
You're too big you're thirty-three
You'll always be my little guy
But you're thirty-three

Flight Of The Conchords Father And Son Comments
Im Trevor. Will you please come and pick your wife up. She is driving me crazy.
I can't believe they bleeped him in the middle of the song
Im not stupid
Americans and bleeping swear words..
Your welcome
I've seen this before and I'll watch it again.
These guys make you feel good , even if only for 5 mins. Probably one of the best acts to come out of Australia.😆
WOW! After ALL these years.... STILL hilarious!!! Thanks for the upload! Later...
just discovered these guys a few weeks as ago. im in love
Censorship ruins the show.
Oh im just clicking LIKE on all the awesome comments Haaaa!!
I couldn't tell if I should laugh or cry throughout the whole song
Awesome.
The song had to be censored for the inhabitants of the "land of the free, home of the brave"? First amendment "freedom of speech"?
Just saw this truly funniest best musicians and to those with thumbs Down ,wtf,idiots
this song... zigged, zagged, and then hit you with another zigzag
this is so damn beautiful
Rumour has it that the Trevor in this song is the one mentioned in 'Less I know the better' by Tame Impala
I thought this was the cat stevens version.
wait... so 'asshole' is off the table in America?
Please can anyone give suggestions of songs or artists that have a similar music style to this
Its good to see them again in a long time
Poor guy, must be so hard.
I'm not crying! *sniff* You're crying!
Stephen should always rock the beard, makes him look like a distinguished gentleman.
The audience didn’t seem like they were ready for actual humor on the Colbert Show.
I think this may be FOTC's best work to date. Even after hearing it multiple times I still feel moved by the father and son reminiscing about their day together at the beginning of the song. Then Bret's line "she just hooked up with another guy" always cracks me up. The way this song can lure you into one feeling and then shatter it, I believe only true art can really manipulate your feelings like that. The last part also got me thinking, why does the 33-year old son still want to sit on his Dad's knee and hear his advice? Did he grow up and realise he needed his Dad after all? But his Dad, tired of being cruelly thrown out and shunned, feels like he can't make up that relationship again that was snatched away from him?
Or maybe 33 just rhymes with knee.
Making us kiwis proud 👍👍 good on ya mate
Bleeping words belongs in the fucking 1990s.
-:) BAD'S Barron and Donald's Song ? ... i'm possible impossible ? ... in the y-'ear 20_9 ?
MAT'S Melania And Trevor's Step ?

Moon man
Haha, so funny! ❤️ Great concept too. In this video, I talk about another brilliant and fun way to promote real music: the Funky Tivi web series I have created: https://youtu.be/6ejdivEbcdY - Funky Tivi is a combination of fiction (comedy) with live music performances and absurd humour. 😁 The story? An outsider who films the best gigs with the help of 2 Brits, but the guy (it’s me, I’m also starring in the web series) is odd: Watch the 1st episode of Funky TIvi: https://youtu.be/BZHI-o5JePI ( english spoken with english subtitles ) feel free to comment. 🎵🎵🎵 Thank you, Jerome
Honestly, the fact that the censoring for “asshole” is so long, it actually makes the verse funnier XD
🤣😂🤣
Anyone else sad this wasn’t a cover of father and son by cat Stevens?
Their lyrics are so well written. I love them
ok i'm drunk...but this is so brilliant on so many levels! i can't even
agree, and me too
Alright, apparently it's not acceptable to just say I don't like this so here's my 2c on why. It's not as original as their older stuff like Jenny or Albi, The Racist Dragon. They were hilarious. This had pretty lame punchlines to be honest. This is coming from a huge fan of their older stuff. But I think creativity isn't something that can be turned on or off. I just think they might have naturally run into a dryish spell. Nothing wrong with that. It's very hard to be super-creative constantly. I think that the worst thing that happened to them was to get that series gig where they had to produce on a constant basis. It was not a good thing for them.
Well, you can have your own opinion about their material, I guess, but the HBO show was what made them stars, and has allowed them to go on and have have stellar careers in TV and movies. Season one was pretty much all songs from their back catalog, and yes, they struggled a little with season two, but after the resounding success of the first season, no doubt they had plenty of money thrown at them to produce a sequel, and they were wise enough to stop there. All in all, HBO was probably the best thing that could have happened to them, and they almost certainly learned a lot about the industry, writing, directing, and producing, etc. because of it.
censorship ruins everything
I'm not crying I just got space dust in my eye
why the fuck does he have a beard?
The live in the car line had me rolling, I'm glad bc I looked up fotc to see if it was still funny and its reassuring to know their new stuff makes me laugh out loud
These guys are brilliantly subtle with humor and satire. I saw them play live at Mann Music Center in Philly and loved them. I loved their show with the one fan and the screw up manager. Go Brett and Jermaine!
They suck; period.
Brilliant!
Sheer brilliance
I think part of the magic that comes from these amazing guys is how they manage to write a very sad song, make you feel the sadness and turning it into laughter.
Edit: They're also nothing short of musical wizards.
Tamato got a son awwww 😜
just a guy and his little guy THATS LOVE BITCHES
Let people add subtitles on your video, man.
Would love to see these guys on hot ones

Love these guys.
i need uncensored version
This song hits home in too many places!!!😆😂
This song didn't make me cry. I'm just chopping onions as I'm making a lasagne!
So funny it rained on my face.
If u guys want a real laugh, search on YouTube there song seagull. But watch the one that's outside during the day published 23 June 2016. It's my favourite
Soooo funny!!!!😂😂😂😂
I heard Fleetwood Mac tried to get Brett as a replacement for Lindsey Buckingham, but he turned them down. Prior engagements and all.
I HOOKED UP WITH MOM!!
I miss my dad now
I'm not crying!!
Hahaha. They censored 'hole' but not 'ass'. Nice. Censorship has reached full absurdity.
S.C. ruined the beginning of this video
I cry every time at the end
i wish this version was on spotify
they're still as handsome as ever!
What an asshole to mute at 3:28
This is just perfect
The only reason I'd ever click on Colbert 🤣
These guys and Taika Waititi are responsible for some of the best, funniest stuff in the last decade or so.
Bleeping spoken words is bad enough. Bleeping music is just dodgy.
Is it just me or are they actually getting hotter with age
Why would anybody dislike this video!!!?? These are legends 🙌🏻🙌🏻💜😂
Bret mkenzie what a nice voice
Wow.this was fucking so.good..i cant believe this dudes man
It's so great to see these guys together again. I was a huge fan the moment their show came out. As much as I hated seeing the show go, I'd much rather have them stop before they thought it wouldnt be as good. Love you guys, you brought me a lot of laughs, and helped me get through a lot of tough times. Thanks.
Tremendous story about life
I didn't come here for feels
So good!
No binary solo?
What about the censure beep on mn 3:29? So ridiculous!
Actually had a tear in my eye 0:54
Embarrassing...
Is this supposed to be funny or do they now think it's no big deal to write songs?
Aww they censored the best part of the song. That's the part I always sing and not because of the obscenity or anything but it's just the funnest part to sing.
fuck, it was a laugh track. They didnto respond to the crowd at all. Didn't look, didn't say anything either plus the laughs sound the same and don't convey what's being said properly. Or maybe I'm thinking about it too much.
I think I might of been wrong. Wops
I'll respond to your comment so it doesn't look like your having a conversation with your self
what conversation Aden Moses obviously pretending to be someone else
Excellent.
Another beautiful song, great job guys!
I love the Conchords so much I'll even sit through Colbert.
kiwi as, love these boys
I am so happy they’re back! So funny. So smart.
Too, too funny!
I'd love to see NSP on here too
Kinda sounded like a tough crowd.
What a great song!
Bret kinda looks like Doug now.
This song is actually sad. It depicts how men are cast aside and ostracised from life just because their wife want to “upgrade” to a better looking, richer model.
Peak con con chords!!!
I've rewatched this video about 50 times no joke. And I'm still rewatching it. Day 3 tomorrow
