Dear daughter, it's me your father
I think it's time we had a talk
The boys are coming round 'cause you're beautiful
And it's all your mother's fault
And I've been trying hard to raise you up right
No drinking, no smoking, no swearing
But your old man's got a little more advice
When it comes to the clothes that you're wearing, listen

Modest is hottest, the latest fashion trend
Is a little more Amish, a little less Kardashian
What the boys really love is a turtleneck and a sensible pair of slacks
Honey, modest is hottest, sincerely, your dad

If I catching you doing dances on the TikTok
In a crop top, so help me God
You'll be grounded till the world stops
I'm just kidding, no I'm not

'Cause modest is hottest, the latest fashion trend
Is a little more Amish, a little less Kardashian
What the boys really love is a turtleneck and a sensible pair of slacks
Honey, modest is hottest, sincerely, your dad

All the parents be saying their prayers
That all their girls, they'll be wearing more layers
Moms and dads round the world, yeah, they're on their knees
Lord make them more like Jesus and less like Cardi B

No offense to Cardi B
I'm sure she's a really nice girl and Jesus loves her but I just think...

Modest is hottest, the latest fashion trend
Is a little more Amish and a little less Kardashian
What the boys really love is a turtleneck and a sensible pair of slacks
Honey, modest is hottest, sincerely, your dad
What the boys really love is a one piece with a raincoat over that
Honey, modest is hottest, sincerely, your dad
Trust me, modest is hottest, sincerely, your dad
