《Soliloquy》歌词

[00:07:50] I wonder what he'll think of me

[00:07:50] I guess he'll me the old man

[00:07:50] I guess he'll think I can lick every other feller's father

[00:07:50] Well, I can

[00:07:50] I bet that he'll turn out to be

[00:07:50] The spitting image of his dad

[00:07:50] But he'll have more common sense

[00:07:50] Than his puddin-headed father ever had

[00:07:50] I'll teach him to wrestle and dive through a wave when we go in the morning for our swim

[00:07:50] His mother can teach him the way to behave but she won't make a sissy out of him

[00:07:50] Not him

[00:07:50] Not my boy

[00:07:50] Not Bill

[00:07:50] Bill

[00:07:50] My boy Bill

[00:07:50] I will see that he's named after me

[00:07:50] I will

[00:07:50] My boy Bill

[00:07:50] He'll be tall and as tough as a tree

[00:07:50] Will Bill

[00:07:50] Like a tree he'll grow with his head held high

[00:07:50] And his feet planted firm on the ground

[00:07:50] And you won't see nobody dare to try

[00:07:50] To boss him or toss him around

[00:07:50] No pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bully will boss him around

[00:07:50] I don't give a hang what he does

[00:07:50] As long as he does what he likes

[00:07:50] He can sit on his tail or work on a a rail with a hammer

[00:07:50] A hammer and spikes

[00:07:50] He can ferry a boat on a river

[00:07:50] Or peddle a pack on his back

[00:07:50] Or work up and down the streets of town with a whip and a horse and a hack

[00:07:50] He can haul a scow along a canal

[00:07:50] Run a cow around a corral

[00:07:50] Or maybe bark for a carousel

[00:07:50] Of course, it takes talent to do that well

[00:07:50] He might be a champ of the heavyweights

[00:07:50] Or a fella that sells you glue

[00:07:50] Or President of the United States

[00:07:50] That'd be alright too

[00:07:50] His mother would like that

[00:07:50] But he wouldn't be President unless he wanted to be

[00:07:50] Not Bill

[00:07:50] My boy Bill

[00:07:50] He'll be tall and as tough as a tree

[00:07:50] Will Bill

[00:07:50] Like a tree he'll grow with his head held high

[00:07:50] And his feet planted firm on the ground

[00:07:50] And you won't see nobody dare to try

[00:07:50] To boss him or toss him around

[00:07:50] No fat-bottomed, flabby-faced, pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bully will boss him around

[00:07:50] And I'm hanged if he marries his boss's daughter

[00:07:50] A skinny-lipped lady with blood like water

[00:07:50] Who'll give him a peck and call it a kiss

[00:07:50] And look in his eyes through a lorgnette

[00:07:50] Say, why am I taking on like this?

[00:07:50] My kid ain't even been born yet

[00:07:50] I can see him when he's seventeen or so

[00:07:50] And starting in to go with a girl

[00:07:50] I can give him lots of pointers

[00:07:50] Very sound

[00:07:50] On the way to get 'round any girl

[00:07:50] I can tell him... wait a minute...

[00:07:50] Could it be?

[00:07:50] What the-?

[00:07:50] What if he is a... girl?

[00:07:50] Aw, Bill

[00:07:50] Bill

[00:07:50] What would I do with her?

[00:07:50] What could I do for her?

[00:07:50] A bum with no money

[00:07:50] You can have fun with a son but you gotta be a father to a girl

[00:07:50] She mightn't be so bad at that

[00:07:50] A kid with ribbons in her hair

[00:07:50] A kind of sweet and petite little tin-type of her mother

[00:07:50] What a pair

[00:07:50] My little girl

[00:07:50] Pink and white as peaches and cream is she

[00:07:50] My little girl is half again as bright

[00:07:50] As girls are meant to be

[00:07:50] Dozens of boys pursue her

[00:07:50] Many a likely lad

[00:07:50] Does what he can to woo her

[00:07:50] From her faithful dad

[00:07:50] She has a few pink and white

[00:07:50] Young fellers of two or three

[00:07:50] But my little girl gets hungry every night

[00:07:50] And she comes home to me

[00:07:50] I gotta get ready before she comes

[00:07:50] I gotta make certain that she

[00:07:50] Won't get dragged up in slums with a lot of bums like me

[00:07:50] She's gotta be sheltered and fed and dressed in the best that money can buy

[00:07:50] I never knew how to get money

[00:07:50] But I'll try, I'll try, I'll try

[00:07:50] I go out and make it

[00:07:50] Or steal it

[00:07:50] Or take it

[00:07:50] Or die!
