Dads don’t want a lot for Christmas,
There is just one thing they need.
And they don’t care about the presents,
If they’re discounted or free.
Just a change that’s overdue.
More than you could know is true.
Make their dream break through,
All dads want for Christmas is their due.

[music picks up]
Dads don’t always seem included,
Left out of conversations, it’s true.
All they ask this holiday,
Is a bit of fairer view.
They don’t want to be excluded,
Forgotten, left out every day.
They are parents, don’t forget it,
Stereotypes do not portray.
Just please change, it’s overdue.
More than you could know is true.
Make their dream break through,
All dads want for Christmas is their due.

They won’t ask for much this Christmas,
They won’t even wish for snow.
They’re just gonna keep on waiting,
For brands to change names and logos.
They are more than backup parents,
More than sidekicks. Aloof? No way!
They can do anything, it’s instinct.
Anything that’s in their way.

They want change that’s overdue.
More than you could know is true.
Make their dream come into view.
All dads want for Christmas is their due.

Oh-oh, dads have done the shopping,
Household chores, it’s nothing new.
So why do companies claim,
Dads can’t deal with simple doo doo?
And everyone is clinging,
To an old-fashioned ‘50s upbringing,
Santa, won’t you bring dads
The thing they really need?
Inclusion in word, photo, and deed.

Oh, dads don’t want a lot for Christmas,
To be remembered is all they’re for.
Include them, name them, don’t forget them.
That’s the gift to make them whole.
Just a change that’s overdue.
More than you could know is true.
Make their dream break through,
All dads want for Christmas is their due.
