Writers: Rodgers/Hammerstein
5
I wonder what he'll think of me
6
I guess he'll call me the "old man"
7
I guess he'll think I can lick
8
Ev'ry other feller's father
9
Well, I can!
10
I bet that he'll turn out to be
11
The spittin' image of his dad
12
But he'll have more common sense
13
Than his puddin-headed father ever had
14
I'll teach him to wrassle
15
And dive through a wave
16
When we go in the mornin's for our swim
17
His mother can teach him
18
The way to behave
19
But she won't make a sissy out o' him
20
Not him! Not my boy! Not Bill!
21
Bill. I will see that he is named after me, I will.
22
My boy, Bill! He'll be tall
23
And tough as a tree, will Bill!
24
Like a tree he'll grow
25
With his head held high
26
And his feet planted firm on the ground
27
And you won't see nobody dare to try
28
To boss or toss him around!
29
No pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bully'll toss him around
30
I don't give a damn what he does
31
As long as he does what he likes!
32
He can sit on his tail
33
Or work on a rail
34
With a hammer, hammering spikes!
35
He can ferry a boat on a river
36
Or peddle a pack on his back
37
Or work up and down
38
The streets of a town
39
With a whip and a horse and a hack
40
He can haul a scow along a canal
41
Run a cow around a corral
42
Or maybe bark for a carousel
43
Of course it takes talent to do that well
44
He might be a champ of theheavyweights
45
Or a feller that sells you glue
46
Or President of the United States
47
That'd be all right, too
48
His mother would like that
49
But he wouldn't be President unless he wanted to be
50
Not Bill!
51
My boy, Bill! He'll be tall
52
And as tough as a tree, will Bill
53
Like a tree he'll grow
54
With his head held high
55
And his feet planted firm on the ground
56
And you won't see nobody dare to try
57
To boss or toss him around!
58
No fat-bottomed, flabby-faced, pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bastard'll boss
59
him around
60
And I'll be damned if he'll marry the boss' daughter
61
A skinny-lipped virgin with blood like water
62
Who'll give him a peck
63
And call it a kiss
64
And look in his eyes through a lorgnet
65
Say, why am I talkin' on like this?
66
My kid ain't even been born, yet!
67
I can see him when he's seventeen or so
68
And startin' to go with a girl
69
I can give him lots of pointers, very sound
70
On the way to get 'round any girl
71
I can tell him ...
72
Wait a minute!
73
Could it be?
74
What the hell!
75
What if he is a girl?
76
What would I do with her?
77
What could I do for her?
78
A bum with no money!
79
You can have fun with a son
80
But you got to be a father to a girl
81
She mighn't be so bad at that
82
A kid with ribbons in her hair!
83
A kind o' neat and petite
84
Little tin-type of her mother!
85
What a pair!
86
I can just hear myself bragging about her!
87
My little girl
88
Pink and white
89
As peaches and cream is she
90
My little girl
91
Is half again as bright
92
As girls are meant to be!
93
Dozens of boys pursue her
94
Many a likely lad does what he can to woo her
95
>From her faithful dad
96
She has a few
97
Pink and white young fellers of two and three
98
But my little girl
99
Gets hungry ev'ry night and she come home to me!
100
My little girl, my little girl!
101
I got to get ready before she comes!
102
I got to make certain that she
103
Won't be dragged up in slums
104
With a lot o' bums like me
105
She's got to be sheltered
106
And be dressed in the best money can buy!
107
I never knew how to get money
108
But, I'll try, by God! I'll try!
109
I'll go out and make it or steal it
110
Or take it or die!
