Herbert Nehrlich - Der Alte

Big and Tall, br with a br formidable mind. br Full of talent br and always searching to find br all of life's answers br by the end of today. br br And demanding, oh my! br 'Study hard, do not lie! ', br 'You must strive to know all br or in disgrace you'll fall! ' br br 'Ahhh, your grades, let me see: br Nineteen A's and one B? br Why the B? '-you'd accuse? br You are not filling my shoes.' br br You encouraged all sports, br even showed how it's done. br And we liked your support br of occasional fun. br br All in all, now you're dead, br you're not Papa no more, br we will call you the name br that we called you before. br 'Cause we think if you had br over all these years, br with the teachings and beatings br and the standardised tears, br if you'd smiled even once br when we brought you a cuppa: br We'd remember you as br our wonderful Papa....
