I wonder what
He'll think of me

lguess he'll call me
The old man

lguess he'll think
I can lick every

Other feller's father,
Well, I can!

I bet that he'll
Turn out to be

The spittin' image
Of his Dad

But he'll have more
Common sense than

His puddin' headed
Father ever had...

I'll teach him to
Wrestle and dive

Through a wave

His mother can
Teach him

The way to behave,

Not him!
Not my boy!

Not Bill...!

Bill, my boy, Bill,
I will see that

He's named after me,
I will

My boy Bill,
He'll be tall and

As tough as a tree,
Will Bill

And you won't see
Nobody dare to try

To boss him or
Toss him around

No pot-bellied,
Baggy-eyed bully'll

Boss him around

ldon't give a damn
What he does

As long as he does
What he likes

He can ferry a boat
On a river

Or peddle a pack
On his back

Of course,
It takes talent

To do that well...

He might be champ
0f the heavyweights

Or a feller that
Sells you glue

Or President of
The United States

That'd be alright, too

(Sung)
Not Bill! My boy, Bill,

He'll be tall and as
Tough as a tree,

And you won't see
Nobody dare to try

To boss him or
Toss him around

No fat bottomed,
Flabby face, pot-bellied,

Baggy-eyed bastard'll
Boss him around

And I'm damned
If he'll marry

His boss's daughter

A skinny-Iipped virgin
With blood like water,

Who'll give him a peck
And call it a kiss

Say! why am I
Takin' on like this?

My kid ain't even
Been born yet

Ha,ha,ha,ha!

I can see him when
He's seventeen or so,

And startin' in
To go with a girl

I can give him
Lots of pointers,

Very sound

On the way
To get 'round

Any girl...,
I can tell him

(Spoken)
Wait a minute,

Could it be?

What the hell?
What if he

Is a girl?

Bill! Ah, Bill!
What would I do

With her?

What could I do
For her?

A burn with no money!

(Sung)
You can have fun

With a son,

But, you got to
Be a father

To a girl...

She mightn't be
So bad at that,

A kid with ribbons
In her hair

A kind of neat and
Petite little tintype

Of her mother,
What a pair...!

(Sung)

My little girl, pink and

White as peaches
And cream is she

My little girl is
Half again as bright

As girls were
Meant to be...

Dozens of boys
Pursue...her...

Many a likely lad...
Does what he can

To woo her from
Her faithful Dad

She has a few
Pink and white

Young fellers
Of two and three...

But my little girl gets
Hungry every night

And she comes home
To me...

I gotta get ready
Before she comes,

I've gotta make certain
That she...

Won't be dragged up
In slums,

With a lot of burns
Like me

I never knew how
To get money,

But I'll try,
By God, I'll try!

I'll go out and make it,
Or steal it,

Or take...it,
0r die...!
