Worlds Best Dad by Original Broadway Cast of Amlie Lyrics

[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
As my heart fills with love

[RAPHAEL]
Amandine!

[WOMEN]
Amandine Poulain likes the flavor of stamps
[GINA]
Has a nervous twitch around her eye

[GEORGETTE]
She likes a bath at bedtime

[AMANDINE]
And dislikes when my fingers wrinkle!

[RAPHAEL]
Our daughter's heart is racing

[AMANDINE, spoken]
Oh dear

[RAPHAEL]
I fear it might be broken

[AMANDINE, spoken]
She's broken?

[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]
But say hello to your new classmate

[AMANDINE, spoken]
Would you like to name him?

[YOUNG AMÉLIE, spoken]
Fluffy!
