of songs to show appreciation for the special man in their lives:
Suitable for toddlers:
(Tune: Happy Birthday)
Happy father's day to you
Happy father's day to you
Happy father's day, dear dad
Happy father's day to you
(Tune: Are you sleeping?)
I love Daddy, I love Daddy.
Yes, I do. Yes, I do.
My Daddy really loves me,
my Daddy really loves me.
Yes, he does, yes he does.
Suitable for 2-year-olds:
(Tune: I Love You - Barney song)
Father's Day, Father's Day
Is a very special day.
With a great big hug,
And a kiss from me to you,
Each one says that I love you!

Daddy, daddy let me say
I love you in every way
I love you for all you do
I love you for being you
Daddy, Daddy let me say
Have a happy Father's Day!

One little, two little, three little hugs,
Four little, five little, six little hugs,
Seven little, eight little, nine little hugs,

There is a special person,
And Daddy is his name-o,
D-A-D-D-Y, D-A-D-D-Y, D-A-D-D-Y,
And Daddy is his name-o.
