World's Best Dad Lyrics - Original Cast Of Amélie

[YOUNG AMÉLIE] 

If I don't have the world's best Dad 

At least it's on his coffee cup! 

And once a month I get to have my very own check-up 

He's not the kind to give a hug 

He was a doctor in a war 

And though he never gets too close 

That's what the check-up's for! 

Oh, here we go 

He'll take my hand inside of his hand 

Though, there is the glove 

And all that I know, he'll listen through his stethoscope 

[RAPHAEL] 

Amandine! 

[WOMEN] 

Amandine Poulain likes the flavor of stamps 

Has a nervous twitch around her eye 

She likes a bath at bedtime 

[AMANDINE] 

And dislikes when my fingers wrinkle 

[RAPHAEL] 

[AMANDINE, spoken] 

Oh dear 

[RAPHAEL] 

I fear it might be broken 

[AMANDINE, spoken] 

[RAPHAEL] 

I worry that her heart cannot handle any stimulation 

[AMANDINE, spoken] 

What do we do? 

[Raphael] 

We cut all recreation and teach her at home 

[RAPHAEL & AMANDINE] 

We can keep her heartbeat stable 

Your school is the kitchen table 

[RAPHAEL] 

Now 

[AMANDINE] 

No need to take the school bus 

[RAPHAEL] 

Just leave it to the two of us 

[AMANDINE] 

No germs or boys or bullies 

[RAPHAEL & AMANDINE] 

[AMANDINE, spoken] 

Would you like to name him? 

[YOUNG AMÉLIE, spoken] 

Fluffy!
