World’s Best Dad lyrics

[YOUNG AMÉLIE]

If I don't have the world's best Dad

At least it's on his coffee cup!

And once a month I get to have my very own check-up

He's not the kind to give a hug

He was a doctor in a war

And though he never gets too close

That's what the check-up's for!

Oh, here we go

He'll take my hand inside of his hand

Though, there is the glove

And all that I know, he'll listen through his stethoscope

As my heart fills with love

[RAPHAEL]

Amandine!

[WOMEN]

Amandine Poulain likes the flavor of stamps

[GINA]

Has a nervous twitch around her eye

[GEORGETTE]

She likes a bath at bedtime

[AMANDINE]

And dislikes when my fingers wrinkle!

[RAPHAEL]

Our daughter's heart is racing

[AMANDINE, spoken]

Oh dear

[RAPHAEL]

I fear it might be broken

[AMANDINE, spoken]

She's broken?

[RAPHAEL]

I worry that her heart cannot handle any stimulation

[AMANDINE, spoken]

What do we do?

[Raphael]

We cut all recreation and teach her at home

[RAPHAEL & AMANDINE]

We can keep her heartbeat stable

Your school is the kitchen table

[RAPHAEL]

Now

[AMANDINE]

No need to take the school bus

[RAPHAEL]

Just leave it to the two of us

[AMANDINE]

No germs or boys or bullies

[RAPHAEL & AMANDINE]

But say hello to your new classmate

[AMANDINE, spoken]

Would you like to name him?

[YOUNG AMÉLIE, spoken]

Fluffy!
