Daddies got a job, and Mummy jumped with glee
And off to work he went, as excited as could be
My tummy didn't rumble, and sleep came easy too
For Daddy worked the mine, and he worked it all day through

I'd never seen him smile, so much as he did now
For when mom needed something, he no longer said somehow
Instead his smile widened, and out he took some green
And he'd buy it for her there and then, while Mummy'd sit and beam

Then one night I found it hard, to sleep the whole way through
Daddies cough, kept me up, because his cough was new
Soon his cough familiar, would put me right to sleep
And he'd be there in my dreams, and often times he'd weep

I'd never seen him smile, so much as he did now
For when mom needed something, he no longer said somehow
Instead his smile widened, and out he took some green
He'd buy it for her there and then, while Mummy'd sit and beam

But dreams are only dreams, and daddy never cried
Not even when the doctor, said by now he should have died
So Mommy stopped her jumping, instead she'd wake and plead
Saying Please don't go to work, it's a Daddy that we need

But Daddy didn't listen, and off to work he'd go
Saying he'd be back for dinner, not to worry, his face aglow
He smiled through his coughs, and he smiled through his days
He smiled through his sleepless nights in a happy haze

Until one night I woke, at hearing Mummy shriek
Daddy's cough was gone, and again he'd never speak
My tummy never rumbles, daddies work takes care of me
But I'd rather he were here, with a rumbling tummy

But I never saw him smile as much as he did then
And when Mom needed something, he wouldn't say I don't know when
Instead his smile would widen and he'd take out some cash
Buy it for her there and then and Mommy's eyes would flash

Daddy got a job and Mummy jumped with glee, and off to work he went
