Just Like Him Lyrics
Just Like Him
[BUDDY]
Look at me, I'm wearing a suit
Approximately like my dad's.
And you'll see, suspenders to boot—
My dad's up on the latest fads.
We're like two peas in a pod,
So don't think it odd
If I should go out on a limb
And say, when I grow up, I'm gonna be just like him!
[WALTER]
I need coffee. Now.
[BUDDY]
Oo, let me do it! Me, me, me.
And I knew, I'd never regret
Coming from so far away.
Though it's true, we've not cuddled yet,
It's bound to happen any day.
It's monkey see, monkey do—
I follow his cue.
[WALTER]
Good morning, Ted. Hi, Jim.
[BUDDY]
Hi, Jim!
(Hugging JIM, not letting go.)
[DEB]
Buddy, why don't you help me put these documents through the shredder?
[BUDDY]
What's a shredder?
[DEB]
It's a machine that makes snow.
[BUDDY]
No way!
We go together like "sugar" and "plum".
[DEB]
A perfect duo like rum cake and rum.
[BUDDY]
I've found a rock of Gibraltar, called Mister Walter Hobbs.
[DEB]
Why don't we make him some snow?
[BUDDY]
Why make him some? Make him gobs!
(Dance break.)
[BUDDY]
We go together like crumpets and tea.
[EMPLOYEES]
It's two for tea!
[DEB]
A perfect duo like vodka and me.
[EMPLOYEES]
She likes her vodka like me!
[BUDDY]
He's like a big doughy present
That only Santa could make.
[EMPLOYEES]
Santa!
[BUDDY]
Let's all go hug him right now!
[ALL]
Sorry, but I'm on my break!
[BUDDY]
I can't explain why I lose my cool
Every time that he comes near.
I go insane and scat like a fool—
Shoobie-doobie-daddy-dear!
[WALTER]
Buddy! Shut up!
[BUDDY]
I guess by now you know why my favorite guy
Can trigger such vigor and vim.
'Cause when I grow up, I'm gonna be just like him!
I love my daddy!
