Flahaven/Andy Einhorn [00:07.70]I wonder what he'll think of me [00:10.33] [00:11.31]I guess he'll call me the old man [00:14.31] [00:15.15]I guess he'll think I can lick [00:17.12]Ev'ry other feller's father [00:19.31] [00:19.96]Well I can [00:21.85] [00:24.74]I bet that he'll turn out to be [00:27.48] [00:28.45]The spittin' image of his dad [00:31.55] [00:32.21]But he'll have more common sense [00:34.49]Than his puddin' headed father ever had [00:40.62] [00:41.13]I'll teach him to wrestle [00:42.63]And dive through a wave [00:43.98]When we go in the mornins for our swim [00:46.72]His mother can teach him [00:48.60]The way to behave [00:49.72]But she won't make a sissy out o' him [00:52.60]Not him [00:54.11]Not my boy [00:55.87]Not Bill [00:58.76] [01:03.10]Bill [01:03.57]

[01:17.60]Will Bill [01:19.46]Like a tree he'll grow [01:21.34]With his head held high [01:23.05]And his feet planted firm on the ground [01:26.61]And you won't see nobody dare to try [01:30.55]To boss him or toss him around [01:33.39]No pot bellied [01:35.27]Baggy eyed bully [01:36.99]Will boss him around [01:38.47] [01:41.60]I don't give a d**n what he does [01:43.78]As long as he does what he likes [01:45.44]He can sit on his tail [01:46.68]Or work on a rail [01:47.53]With a hammer hammering spikes [01:50.59]He can ferry a boat on a river [01:52.47]Or peddle a pack on his back [01:54.39]Or work up and down [01:55.28]The streets of a town [01:56.21]With a whip and a horse and a hack [01:57.81] [01:58.41]He can haul a scow along a canal [02:01.35] [02:02.15]Run a cow around a corral [02:04.93]Or maybe bark for a carousel [02:08.37]Of course it takes talent to do that well [02:15.62]He might be a champ of the heavyweights [02:17.67]Or a feller that sells you glue [02:19.54]Or president of the [02:20.55]United States [02:22.51]That'd be all right too [02:25.07]Ahh [02:25.91]His mother would like that [02:27.13]But he wouldn't be president if he didn't wanna be [02:29.41]Not Bill [02:31.05] [02:31.63]My boy Bill [02:32.96]He'll be tall [02:33.86]And as tough as a tree [02:36.31]Will Bill [02:38.11]Like a tree he'll grow [02:39.97]With his head held high [02:41.64]And his feet planted firm on the ground [02:45.09]And you won't see nobody dare to try [02:48.93]To boss him or toss him around [02:51.51]No fat bottomed [02:53.75]Flabby faced [02:54.45]Pot bellied [02:55.45]Baggy eyed bastard [02:57.41]Will boss him around [02:58.88] [03:03.36]And I'm d**ned if he'll marry his boss [03:05.05]His daughter [03:06.06]A skinny lipped virgin with blood like water [03:08.57]Who'll give him a peck [03:09.52]And call it a kiss [03:11.04]And look in his eyes through a lorgnette [03:13.78] [03:14.71]Say [03:15.02] [03:16.36]Why am I carryin' on like this [03:18.42]My kid ain't even born yet [03:20.72] [03:22.44]I can see him when he's seventeen or so [03:28.03]And startin' to go with a girl [03:34.49]I can give him lots of pointers very sound [03:39.71]On the way to get 'round any girl [03:45.67] [03:46.19]I can tell him [03:47.81] [03:49.07]Wait a minute [03:50.13] [03:51.85]Could it be [03:52.66] [03:54.39]What the hell [03:55.40] [03:56.31]What if he [03:57.35] [03:58.02]Is [03:58.58] [03:59.16]A girl [04:00.21] [04:01.34]Bill [04:01.85] [04:03.04]Oh Bill [04:03.86] [04:05.75]What would I do with her [04:06.83] [04:08.52]What could I do for her [04:10.09] [04:11.55]A bum with no money [04:13.21] [04:15.71]You can have fun with a son [04:18.22]But you gotta be a father [04:21.34]To a girl [04:26.82]She mightn't be so bad at that [04:29.71] [04:30.51]A kid with ribbons in her hair [04:34.08] [04:34.70]A kind o' sweet and petite [04:36.75]Little tin type of her mother [04:38.84] [04:40.03]What a pair [04:45.77] [04:46.87]My little girl [04:48.60] [04:49.79]Sweet and light [04:51.92]As peaches and cream is she [04:56.73] [04:57.26]My little girl [04:59.20]Is half again as bright [05:02.90] [05:03.49]As girls are meant to be [05:08.26] [05:08.78]Dozens of boys pursue her [05:13.23]Many a likely lad does what he can to woo her [05:22.10]From her faithful dad [05:24.94] [05:27.02]She has a few [05:29.55]Pink and white young fellers of two or three [05:36.32]But my little girl [05:38.95]Gets hungry ev'ry night [05:42.74] [05:43.74]And she comes home to me [05:49.28] [05:54.61]I've got to get ready before she comes [05:57.62]I got to make certain that she [06:00.31]Won't be dragged up in slums [06:01.75]With a lot o' bums like me [06:06.79]She's got to be sheltered [06:08.60]And fed and dressed [06:10.05]In the best that money can buy [06:13.43]I never knew how to get money [06:16.64]But I'll try [06:18.16]By God [06:18.83]I'll try [06:20.86]I'll go out and make it or steal it [06:26.17]Or take it [06:31.30] [06:32.46]Or die
