What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I wonder what he'll think of me
2
I guess he'll call me "the old man"
3
I guess he'll think I can lick
4
Ev'ry other fella's father
5
Well, I can
6
I bet that he turns out to be
7
The spittin' image of his dad
8
But he'll have more common sense
9
Than his puddin'-headed father ever had
10
I'll teach him to wrassle and dive through a wave
11
When we go in the morning for our swim
12
His mother can teach him the way to behave
13
But she won't make a sissy out o' him
14
Not him! Not my boy! Not Bill
15
Bill. I will see that he is named after me, I will
16
My boy, Bill, he'll be tall and tough as a tree, will Bill
17
Like a tree he'll grow with his head held high
18
And his feet planted firm on the ground
19
And you won't see nobody dare to try to boss or toss him around
20
No pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bully'll boss him around
21
I don't give a damn what he does as long as he does what he likes
22
He can sit on his tail or work on a rail with a hammer and hammer in spikes
23
He can ferry a boat on a river or peddle a pack on his back
24
Or work up and down the streets of a town with a whip and a horse and a hack
25
He can haul a scow along a canal
26
Run a cow around a corral
27
Or maybe bark for a carousel
28
Of course, it takes talent to do that well
29
He might be a champ of the heavyweights
30
Or a fella that sells you glue
31
Or President of the United States
32
That'd be all right, too
33
Spoken His mother would like that, but he wouldn't be President unless he wanted to be
34
Not Bill
35
My boy, Bill he'll be tall and as tough as a tree, will Bill
36
Like a tree he'll grow with his head held high
37
And his feet planted firm on the ground
38
And you won't see nobody dare to try to boss or toss him around
39
No fat-bottomed, flabby-faced, pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bully'll boss him around
40
And I'll be damned if he'll marry his boss's daughter
41
A skinny-lipped virgin with blood like water
42
Who'll give him a peck and call it a kiss
43
And look in his eyes through a *lorgnette*
44
Hey, why am I takin' on like this?
45
My kid ain't even been born yet
46
I can see him when he's seventeen or so
47
And startin' in to go with a girl
48
I can give him lots of pointers
49
Very sound, on the way to get 'round any girl
50
I can tell him
51
Wait a minute
52
Could it be?
53
What the hell
54
What if he is a girl?
55
You can have fun with a son
56
But you got to be a father to a girl
57
She mighn't be so bad, at that
58
A kid with ribbons in her hair
59
A kind of neat and petite little tin-type of her mother
60
What a pair
61
My little girl, pink and white as peaches and cream is she
62
My little girl is half again as bright as girls were meant to be
63
Dozens of boys pursue her, many a likely lad
64
Does what he can to woo her from her faithful dad
65
She has a few pink and white young fellas of two and three
66
But my little girl gets hungry ev'ry night and she comes home to me
67
I gotta get ready before she comes
68
Gotta make certain that she won't be dragged up in slums with a lot o' bums like me
69
She's gotta be sheltered and fed and dressed in the best that money can buy
70
I never knew how to get money but, I'll try, by God! I'll try
71
I'll go out and make it or steal it
72
Or take it or die
