Sweet 16
This song is dedicated to my daddy and my three sons
And his mother, Mumbo, who started this tradition so far as we know
Sure my son turned sweet 16
Sure as hell this new year’s eve
Seems like only yesterday
Man I stood above the furnace grate
Where you were born on Kirkman street
And as I clutched you close to me
I sang come climb upon my knee
I sang come climb upon me knee
My little boy of three
To me you’ll always be
My little boy of three
Now you’re the first of my three sons
The first I cuddled in my arms
Now a man of sweet 16
Who slightly towers over me
I said come climb upon my knee
My little boy of three
To me you’ll always be
My little boy of three
New years day will always be
What makes fathers day for me
And as you pass from boy to man
I pray you’ll one day understand
The joy that nothing else can bring
To sing come climb upon my knee
To your own flesh and blood
Like I’ve been blessed to do with my three sons
I said come climb upon my knee
My little boys of three
To me you’ll always be
My little boys of three
Said come climb upon my knee
My little boy of three
To me you’ll always be
My little boy of three
This song is dedicated to my daddy and my three sons
And his mother, Mumbo, who started this tradition so far as we know
Sure my son turned sweet 16
Sure as hell this new year’s eve
Seems like only yesterday

Where you were born on Kirkman street
And as I clutched you close to me
I sang come climb upon my knee
I sang come climb upon me knee
My little boy of three
To me you’ll always be
My little boy of three
Now you’re the first of my three sons
The first I cuddled in my arms
Now a man of sweet 16
