Verse 1
I (B minor) won (E major) (A flatdim) (B minor) der (E major)
(A flatdim) (B minor) what he'll (F sharp minor) think of me. (E major)
I (B minor) guess he'll worry, (F sharp minor) the old (E major) man.
I (B minor) guess he'll (A major) think I can lick
every other fella's father. (D major)
(A major) Well, I (D major) can! (B flataug)
I bet (B minor) that he'll turn (F sharp minor) out to (E major) be
the (B minor) spittin' image of his dad. (E major)
But he'll have (A major) more common sense
than his puddin' -headed father ever (D major) had.
I'll teach (B minor) him to wrestle
and dive through a wave
when we go in the mornin' for our (E major) swim.
His mother (A minor) can teach him the
ways to behave,
but she won't make a
sissy out (B major) of him.
Nahim! (E major) Not my (A major) boy!
Not (D major) Bill! (A major) (D major) (B flataug) (D major) (B flataug) (A major) (D major)
My (G major) boy Bill,
(C major) I'll see (A minor) that he's named (D major) after me! (G major)
I will! (D major)
(G major) My boy Bill,
(A minor) he'll be tall and as (D major) tough as a (G major) tree!
Will (G sharpdim) Bill, (E major) (D major) like a tree, (G major) he'll grow,
With his (E flatdim) head (B major) held high,
And his (E major) feet (E minor) planted firm on the ground.
And (D major) you won't see nobody (G major) (A major) dare to try
(G major) To (A major) boss him or toss him around. (D major)
(C major) Nobody, (G major) (E minor) (A minor) by my (D major) body,
will boss him around. (G major)
I don't give a damn what he does,
as long as he does what he likes.
He can sit on his tail or work on a rail
with a hammer, a (C major) hammer and (B flat major) spines.
He can ferry a boat on a river,
or pedal a pack on his back,
or (D major) work up and down the streets of a (G major) town
with a whip and a horse and a hack.
He can haul (G minor) a scow (A major) along a canal,
run (G minor) a cow around (A major) a corral,
or maybe (F sharp minor) bark for a ca (G major) rousel.
(G sharp major) Of (F sharp minor) course, it takes talent to (D major) do that well.
He (G major) might be the chap with
the heavy weights,
or a fellow that (C major) sells you (G major) glue,
or (E minor) President of the United (A major) States.
(C major) That'd (A minor) be (G sharp major) all right,
(G major) too. His mother would (D major) like that,
but he wouldn't be president
un (G major) less he wanted to be.
Not (D major) Bill!
(G major) My boy Bill, (C major) he'll be (A minor) tall
and as tough (D major) as a (G major) tree.
Bill, Bill! (A minor) (D major) Like a tree (G major) he'll grow,
with his (E flatdim) head (B major) held high
and his (E major) feet (E minor) planted firm on the ground.
(E major) An d you (D major) won't see (G major) nobody
(A major) dare to try (G major) to fuss (Asus4) him
or (A major) toss him around.
(D major) No thought (E minor) ful an (A minor) d flabby -faced,
(G major) mud -bur (A minor) ied,
baggy -eyed (D major) bastard will boss him around. (A minor)
And I'm (A major) damned if he'll marry his
(A minor) boss's daughter,
a skinny -lipped virgin with blood like water,
who'll give him a peck, and (A major) call it a kiss,
and (E major) look in his (G major) eye through a (D major) lorgnette,
(E major) Say, (D major) why am I (A minor) takin' on like this?
(A major) My kid (D major) ain't even (A major) been born (A minor) yet! (A major)
(F major) I can see him when he's
(D minor) seventeen (F major) or so,
(D minor) And (F major) start him to go (D minor) with a (F major) girl.
(D minor) I (F major) can give him lots of (D minor) pointers,
(F major) very sound,
(D minor) on the (D sharpdim) way (A major) to get (G sharp minor) round any (B major) girl. (D sharp minor)
(F sharp major) I (F major) can tell him, wait a (D minor) minute, (F major) could it be?
Bill! Oh, what the hell!
(G minor) What if he is (C major) a girl? (A minor)
(D major) Oh, Bill! (A minor) Bill! (D major)
(A minor) What would I do with her? (D major)
(E major) What could I do (A minor) for her?
Me a bum with no (D major) money?
You can have fun (G major) with a son,
but you've got (D minor) ta be a (G major) father to
a girl. (C major) (Caug) (Eaug)
(E major) She mightn't (A minor) be so (D major) bad at that,
a (A major) kid with ribbons in (D major) her hair,
A (G major) kind and neat and petite little tin type of (G minor) her mother,
what a (G major) pair! (C major) (C minor) (C major)
(F major) My little girl, (Faug) pink (A major) and white as
(G minor) peaches and green is (A major) (A minor) she,
Meine (C major) (A minor) kleine Frau (F major) ist wieder halb (B flat major) so (F major) schön
(D minor) wie früh (G minor) er. (D major) (F major) (F sharpdim) (G minor)
(C major) Tausende (F major) Männer folgen (B flat major) ihr,
(C major) viele wie (F major) ich,
(Bdim) Dad (E major) does (A major) what he can to woo (D major) her (E major)
from (A major) her faith (D major) ful dad. (G major)
(C major) She (F major) has a few pink (Faug) (A major) and white
young (G minor) fel las of two an (A major) d (A minor) three,
But (C major) (A minor) my little girl (D minor) gets
(F major) hungry (B flat major) every (F major) night,
(G major) And she (F major) comes (C major) home to me. (F major) (E major) (E flat major)
I (B major) gotta get ready before (E flat major) she comes,
I (D major) gotta make certain that (F sharp major) she won't
be (B flat minor) dragged up in slums
with a (F sharp major) lot of bums like (F major) me.
She's got (B flat major) ta be sheltered
and fed and dressed,
best that money can buy.
I (E flat major) nev er knew how to get (D minor) money,
but I'll (F major) try, my God, (Bdim) I'll (B flat major) try.
(F major) I'll (B flat major) go out and make (E flat major) it,
stee (F major) det, or (E flat major) fated, or (B flat major) died. (B flat major) (B flataug) (B flat major)
