MY DAD - (thoughts from Jasmin) tune: Bad Moon Rising
arranged by Kevin C. MacLeod
We’re here today to pay a tribute
A gentle soul who loved his fun
He was much loved by everybody
Robert Terry Llewellyn
Born the 25 of January
Lived in Middlewood in 1965
Tenth child to Alvin and Shirley
They were thrilled he was alive
Once he was the first up Christmas morning
And he pelted sisters with some balls
He’d twirl his fingers in his hair and
Smile when he was younger and quite small
How the heck did he, work for 33, for Highliner Sea Foods all those years
The smell could bring you tears, he stayed and worked right there
Maybe that’s is why he had thick hair
Besides great hair he loved his soccer
His trophies decorated his high school
His rivals could not even trap him
He’d make them look just like a fool
In high school there was another athlete
Jennifer Robin Croft her name
Four years younger and years later
They were a couple full of fame
They had 3 terrific children
Jasmin Holly and then Zach
Love for animals passed down to them
To love and be kind and all that
How the heck did he work for 33, for Highliner Sea Foods all those years
The smell could bring you tears, he stayed and worked right there
Maybe that’s is why he had thick hair
Jasmin loved her cheerleading
And Holly’s fame was volleyball
And Zach he’s really good at science
Rob and Jenn they loved them all
Rob loved playing with his children
Camp and ski and build igloos
Fish and gather maple syrup
Play piggy back at night before they’d snooze
And Rob could fix machinery
To make his work go really smooth
At night he’d love war documentaries
The Airplane was his cool dance move
How the heck did he work for 33, for Highliner Sea Food all those years
The smell could bring you tears, he stayed and worked right there
Maybe that’s is why he had thick hair
The visits to grandparents was amazing
The gatherings suppers that they ate
Garnett and Shirley were so wonderful
Alvin and Shirley were so great
Rob’s siblings they were oh so many
David Mary Mike and Sam
And there’s Ivan, Lorna, Anna
Lorraine and also there’s Roseanne
They’re here for their baby brother
They all have stories they could tell
Some are touching and some are funny
Dear Robbie rest in peace we wish you well
You were loved, you’re free, peace, eternity
We are gathered on this day
To say we loved you so, we’ll miss you and we know
You really did have great, thick hair
