Kathy Kirby - Following In Father's Footsteps

To follow in your father's footsteps is a motto for each boy
And following in father's footsteps is a thing I much enjoy
My mother caught me out one evening up the West End on the spree
She said "Where are you going?"
But, I answered "Don't ask me"

I'm following in father's footsteps, I'm following the dear old dad
He's just in front with a fine big gal, so I thought I'd have one as well
I don't know where he's going, but when he gets there I'll be glad
I'm following in father's footsteps yes, I'm following the dear old dad To dinner up in town last night I went, and pa went there as well
How many lemonades we had my word, I really couldn't tell
At two am he started off for home, like this, and so did I
Folks said "Mind where you're going!"
But I simply made reply

I'm following in father's footsteps, I'm following the dear old dad
He's wobbling on in the front you see, upon my word he's worse than me
I don't know where he's going, but when he gets there I'll be glad
I'm following in father's footsteps yes, I'm following the dear old dad

I'm following in father's footsteps, I'm following the dear old dad
He's wobbling on in the front you see, upon my word he's worse than me
I don't know where he's going, but when he gets there I'll be glad
I'm following in father's footsteps yes, I'm following the dear old dad
