I wonder he'll think of me I guess call me "the old man" I he'll think I can lick other fella's father Well, I can
I bet that he out to be The spittin' of his dad But have more common sense Than his puddin'-headed father had
I'll him to wrassle and dive through a wave When we go in the morning for our His mother can him the way to behave But she won't a sissy out o' him Not him! Not my boy! Not
Bill. I will see he is named after me, I will My boy, Bill, he'll be tall and as a tree, will Bill Like a he'll grow with his head held high And his feet firm on the ground And you won't see nobody dare to try to boss or toss him No pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bully'll him around
I don't give a what he does as long as he does what he likes He can sit on his tail or on a rail with a hammer and hammer in spikes He can ferry a boat on a river or peddle a pack on his Or work up and down the streets of a town with a and a horse and a hack
He can a scow along a canal Run a cow a corral Or bark for a carousel Of course, it takes talent to do well
He might be a champ of the Or a fella that sells you Or of the United States be all right, too
Spoken His would like that, but he wouldn't be President unless he wanted to be Not
My boy, Bill be tall and as tough as a tree, will Bill Like a tree he'll with his head held high And his feet planted on the ground And you won't see nobody dare to try to or toss him around No fat-bottomed, flabby-faced, pot-bellied, baggy-eyed boss him around
And I'll be if he'll marry his boss's daughter A skinny-lipped virgin with blood water give him a peck and call it a kiss And look in his through a *lorgnette* Hey, why am I takin' on this? My kid ain't even born yet
I can see him he's seventeen or so And startin' in to go a girl I can him lots of pointers sound, on the way to get 'round any girl I can him a minute it be? What the if he is a girl? You can have fun a son But you got to be a to a girl
She be so bad, at that A kid with in her hair A kind of and petite little tin-type of her mother a pair
My little girl, pink and as peaches and cream is she My little girl is again as bright as girls were meant to be Dozens of pursue her, many a likely lad what he can to woo her from her faithful dad
She has a few pink and white young of two and three But my little girl gets hungry ev'ry night and she comes to me
I get ready before she comes make certain that she won't be dragged up in slums with a lot o' bums like me She's gotta be and fed and dressed in the best that money can buy I never knew how to get money but, try, by God! I'll try go out and make it or steal it Or it or die
