World's Greatest Dad Lyrics - Elf: The Musical - Original Broadway Cast

Buddy: 

A dad whose a million miles away 

When he meets me who knows what he'll see 

but deep down I know I shouldn't be afraid because he is bound to be a lot like me 

and....we'll...make angels in the snow till the snow begins to blow 

and we'll run inside and start a tickle fight 

if it's to cold to sled we'll make ginger bread instead 

and then cuddle till he tucks me in a night 

and we'll have our pictures taken for the Christmas cards we're makin 

Him and me in suits of matching plaid 

and when people see us walking they'll be google eyed and gauching 

at Buddy and the Worlds Greatest Dad 

Mr. Narwhal: 

Good luck Buddy hope you find your dad 

Buddy: 

Thanks Mr. Narwhal 

We'll spend mornings holding hands, holding hands and making plans 

on whether to play jacks or kick the can 

then for much a ginger snap and a nap to fill the gap 

to be building forts and playing superman 

and if his back gives him a spasm well then every good dad has'm 

I'll bring him coco and a heating pad 

It's a scene inside a snow globe and a very aprapoglobe 

just Buddy and the Worlds Greatest Dad 

[Music] 

Santa, Santa no no no not Santa sorry 

Person 1: 

Check it out, Check it out 

Buddy: 

Thank you, thank you 

Person 2: 

Taxi 

[taxi beeps] 

Buddy: 

Whoa you did it worlds best Silverado congratulations that is quite and accomplishment 

We'll share a whole fruit cake slice by slice 

making sure not one single crumb drops 

Person: 

Get out of here freak 

Buddy: 

And if I were to say that I was in a Christmas play 

he wouldn't miss it for a million gum drops 

[aah] when I fall and scape my knee he will kiss that knee for me 

and make that boo boo better in a jiff 

If I should get a cold just allergies from mold 

He'll gazuntiight me with his own hanker chief 

and if ever things turn gloomful I will know that there's a room full 

of hugs and jokes to make it seem less bad 

I can't hid my admiration for that perfect combination 

for Buddy and the Worlds Greatest Dad 

So I'm gunna try my best to be 

Everything you'd expect of me 

and I promise I won't stop until I'm done 

so some day you can say 

I'm the worlds greatest son
