Verse 1
(Gsus4) I wonder what he'll think of
(C major) me
I guess he'll call me
(F major) the "old man"
I guess he'll (Gsus4) think I can lick
Ev'ry other feller's father
Well, I can!
I bet (C major) that he'll turn out to be
The spittin' (F major) image of his dad
But he'll have more com
(A minor) mon sense (B flat major)
(F major) Than his (B flat major) (F major)
(B flat major) puddin-
(F major) headed father ever had
I'll teach him (B flat major) (F major) to
wrassle
And dive through a wave
(G major) When (Gsus4) we go in the mornin's (F major) for our swim
His mother can teach him
The way to behave
But she won't make a sissy
out o' him
Not him! Not my boy! Not Bill!
Bill. I will see that he is named after
me, I will.
My boy, Bill! He'll be tall
And tough as a tree, will Bill!
Like a (G minor) tree he'll (G major) grow
With (C major) his (F major) head held high
And his (G minor) (D major) (C major) (F major) feet
planted
firm on the ground
And you (G minor) (G major) (C major) won't
see nobody (F major) dare to try
To boss or toss (D minor) (E major)
(A minor) him around!
No pot- (D major) (G major)
(C major) (F major)
(E major) bellied,
baggy- eyed (E flatdim) bully'll toss him around
I (D major) don't give a damn what he does
As long as he (E flatdim) does (C major) what he likes!
He can sit on his tail
Or work on a rail
With a hammer, hammering spikes!
(F major) He can ferry a boat on a river
Or peddle a pack on his back
Or work up and down
The streets of a town
With (A minor) a (B flat major) whip and
a horse and a hack
He can haul a scow along a canal
Run a cow around a (D major) corral
Or maybe bark for a carousel
Of course it takes (G major) talent to do that well
He might be a champ of theheavyweights
Or a feller that sell (C major) s you glue
Or President of the United States
That'd be all right, too
His mother would like that
But he wouldn't be Presid
(F major) ent unless he wanted to be
Not Bill!
My boy, Bill! He'll (A minor) be tall
And as tough (B flat major) as a tree, will Bill
Like a tree he'll grow
With his head held high
And his feet (D major) planted firm on the ground
And you won't see (G major)
nobody dare to try
To boss or toss him around!
No fat- bottomed, flabby- (F major) faced, pot- bellied,
baggy- eyed bastard'll boss
Him around
And I'll be damned if he'll marry
the boss' daughter
A skinny- lipped virgin with blood like
water (B flat major) (F major)
(C major) (F major) (C major)
(Edim) (C major)
(F major) (E major)
Who'll (G minor) give him a peck (C major) (F major) (C major)
(F major) (C major)
(F major) And call it a kiss
And look in (C major) his eyes (F major) through a
lorgnet
Say, why am I talkin'
on like this?
My kid ain't even (B flat major) been (F major) born, yet!
I can (B flat major) see him when he's
(F major) seventeen or so
And startin' to go with a girl
I (C major) (F major) can give him lot (C major) s of pointers,
very sound
On the way to get 'round any girl
I can tell him ...
Wait (F major) (C major) a minute!
Could it be?
What the hell!
What if he is (B flat major) (F major) (B flat major) (F major) a girl?
What (B flat major) would I do with (F major) her?
What could I do for her?
A bum with no money!
You (C major) can have fun with a son
But you got to be a father to a girl
She mighn't be so bad at that
A kid with ribbon (F major) s in her hair!
A kind o' neat and petite
Little tin- type of her mother!
What a pair! (C major) (G major) (C major)
(F major) (C major)
(F major) (C major) (F major) (C major)
I (F major) can just hear (G major) myself bragging about her!
My (F major) little (C major) (F major) girl
Pink and white
As peaches and cream is she
My little girl
Is half again as bright
As girls are meant to be!
Dozens (C major) (F major) of boys pursue her
Many a likely lad does what
he can to (C major) (F major) woo her
From her faith (C major) ful (G major) (C major) dad
She (D major) has a few
(G major) Pink (E major)
and (A minor) white young fellers
of two and three
But my little girl
Gets hungry (D major) ev'ry night and
she come home to me!
My (D flat major) little girl, my (C major) little girl!
I got to get ready before she comes!
I got (F major) to make certain (E major) that she
Won't be dragged (E flat major) up in (D major) slums
With a lot o' bums like me
She's (D flat major) (C major)
(F major) got to be sheltered
And be dressed in the best (G major) money can buy!
I never knew how (F major) to get money
But, I'll try, by God! I'll try!
I'll go (G major) out an (B flat major) (F major) d
make it or steal it
Or take it or die!
