Bodhi’s Father’s Day Song for Dad

When it comes to Father’s Day, socks and mugs just don’t cut it anymore. This year, Larissa wanted to surprise Jake with something truly personal - a custom song from their son, Bodhi. The brief? Funny, full of inside jokes, and packed with the little moments that make fatherhood so special.

A Song Full of Inside Jokes and Real Memories

From the start, Larissa shared all the quirks and memories that make Jake and Bodhi’s bond unique:

• Bodhi’s favourite thing - when Daddy smiles.
• Singing in the car together, their own little band on wheels.
• Doing flips in the lounge and running races in the yard.
• Snuggly bedtimes that often end with Jake falling asleep on Bodhi’s floor, snoring away.
• The infamous “Dad tax” - where Jake always sneaks a bite of Bodhi’s food.
• Fruit shop trips, ballet performances, and of course, Jake’s habit of saying “what?” instead of “pardon.”

Every one of these details was stitched into the lyrics, making the song not just a gift, but a snapshot of their family life.

Lyric Excerpts That Tell Their Story

The verses don’t just describe Jake as a dad - they bring those funny, everyday moments to life:

“At bedtime you’re the snuggler - until you start to snore"

And of course, we couldn’t leave out the famous Dad tax:

“‘Dad tax’ on my nuggets, a bite here, a bite there - it’s true.”

Even the inside jokes made their way into the song:

“You say ‘what’ instead of ‘pardon,’ and get mad when I do,
But really, Dad, I learned that exactly from you.”

The Finished Song

After pulling it all together, Larissa’s gift became a one-of-a-kind Father’s Day song just for Jake:

Chorus:

Happy Father’s Day, Jake, here’s Bodhi’s song,
With love (and some giggles), right here we belong.
From flips to goodnights, from “what?” to ballet,
You’re the funniest Dad - we love you always!
Yes, you’re the funniest Dad - Happy Father’s Day!

(…full verses and outro bring in bedtime snuggles, car singalongs, and those unforgettable “what?” moments.)

Why a Personalised Song?

A custom song goes beyond a traditional Father’s Day gift. It’s not just something Jake can keep, it’s something he can hear, laugh with, and replay for years to come. It’s a gift that grows with the family - something Bodhi will one day look back on and smile, knowing how much love was captured in those lyrics.

Making Father’s Day Personal

Bodhi’s Father’s Day Song for Dad is proof that the best gifts aren’t found on a store shelf - they’re made from the moments we live every day. Funny, heartfelt, and completely one-of-a-kind, it’s a reminder that the little quirks, bedtime snuggles, and even the “Dad tax” are what make fatherhood unforgettable.

This Father’s Day, Jake won’t just be opening a present - he’ll be pressing play on a memory.
