Dads Don’t Forget Lyrics by Cooper Alan
Reverend Gatlin is an ethical man,
The honorable father of Jennifer Anne,
And nothing in the world that he wouldn’t do for his daughter
Then Jennifer Gatlin met a dick named Dan
He reckoned that Dan was a cheating man
And he caught him one night, now he’s in a hot pot of water
And as soon as Dan could talk again, he called the cops
Then he plead his case to an ambulance chaser
His daddy’s neighbor called in a favor
And that’s what brings us here today
People of Putnam, y’all all rise
This one shouldn’t take too much time
Today’s the day the Reverend takes a stand (amen)
The bailiff led him on through that door
Gave him the floor to address the court
And he said to the jury, “You’d surely understand”
Hell, I’m a man of God, no, I ain’t no liar
Held his ass up to a brimstone fire
Showed him the light with a couple new shiners
Took it too far, and I confess
Gave that devil a lesson learned
And that broke jaw, y’all know he earned it
Made sure he heard my favorite sermon
Jesus forgives, but daddies don’t forget
No, no (no, no, no, no)
No, no (no, no, no, no)
No, no (no, no, no, no)
No, no
Dan screamed out, “See? Y’all, he did it”
Knowing that you can acquit it
Jury had a different set of plans
And the judge says, “Damn, I’d have done it too
If it was my girl, Dan, you’d done it too.”
And they were dancing around in their living rooms
When they played it later on the evening news
People of Putnam, y’all all rise
This one shouldn’t take too much time
Today’s the day the Reverend takes a stand (amen)
The bailiff led him on through that door
Gave him the floor to address the court
And he said to the jury, “You’d surely understand”
Hell, I’m a man of God, no, I ain’t no liar
Held his ass up to a brimstone fire
Showed him the light with a couple new shiners
Took it too far, and I confess
Gave that devil a lesson learned
And that broke jaw, y’all know he earned it
Made sure he heard my favorite sermon
Jesus forgives, but daddies don’t forget
No, no (no, no, no, no)
No, no (no, no, no, no)
No, no (no, no, no, no)
No, no
So y’all think he did it?
Well, yeah, he did it, but that dude sucks
Shit, I’d have done it too
Shit, me too
The verdict is in
People of Putnam, y’all all rise
This one shouldn’t take too much time
The foreman said the Reverend’s a free man
And he walked on out to that front door
Turned around and addressed the court
And he said, “I bet that’s the last time we see Dan”
Hell, I’m a man of God, no, I ain’t no liar
Held his ass up to a brimstone fire
Showed him the light with a couple new shiners
Took it too far, and I confess
Gave that devil a lesson learned
And that broke jaw, y’all know he earned it
Made sure he heard my favorite sermon
Jesus forgives, but daddies don’t forget
No, no
No, no
No, no
Jesus forgives, but daddies don’t forget
No, no
No, no
No, no
No, no
