Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He’s got boots by the door
And a grin like a dare
Looks like he hauled a longship
From some northbound air
But he’ll steal your French fries
And blame it on the dog
Then wink like a rascal
And do that little jog
[Pre-Chorus]
He says, “Watch this, watch this”
Then trips on the rug
Stands right back up
With a bear hug and a shrug
[Chorus]
Viking on the outside
Elf on the inside
Forty-seven years old
Acting eighty with pride
We love our goofy dad
We love our goofy dad
(Goofy dad)
Viking on the outside
Elf on the inside
[Verse 2]
He can nap through a storm
On the porch in his chair
Then pop up for a prank
Like he’s twenty somewhere
He’ll tell jokes too loud
At the checkout line
Buy a toy for the grandkid
Just to hear him shine
[Pre-Chorus]
He says, “I’m fine, I’m fine”
While he hunts for his hat
One sock on the couch
And a flashlight in his lap
[Chorus]
Viking on the outside
Elf on the inside
Forty-seven years old
Acting eighty with pride
We love our goofy dad
We love our goofy dad
(Goofy dad)
Viking on the outside
Elf on the inside
[Bridge]
When the day gets heavy
He makes it light
With a fake dragon roar
And a dance in the kitchen at night
He’s rough as a mountain
Soft as a song
The kind of old soul
That keeps us all strong
[Final Chorus]
Viking on the outside
Elf on the inside
Forty-seven years old
Acting eighty with pride
We love our goofy dad
We love our goofy dad
(We love you, Dad)
Viking on the outside
Elf on the inside

A country song about my goofy playful dad that says he’s like a tough Viking but everyone knows he’s a playful elf. I want a song to say we love him also he’s 47 but acts 80
