| You don’t have to have a hanker
|
| To be a broker or a banker
|
| No siree, just simply be My mother’s son-in-law.
|
| Needn’t even think of tryin'
|
| To be a mighty social lion
|
| Sipping tea, if you’ll be My mother’s son-in-law,
|
| Ain’t got the least desire
|
| To set the world on fire
|
| Just wish you’d make it proper
|
| To call my old man papa
|
| You don’t have to sing like Bledsoe
|
| You can tell the world I said so Can’t you see you’ve got to be My mother’s son-in-law.
|
| You don’t have to sing like Jessel
|
| You can tell the world I said so Can’t you see, you’ve got to be My mother’s son-in-law. |
