《Soliloquy》歌词

[00:00:08] I wonder what he'll think of me

[00:00:12] I guess he'll me the old man

[00:00:16] I guess he'll think I can lick every other feller's father

[00:00:21] Well I can

[00:00:30] I bet that he'll turn out to be

[00:00:33] The spitting image of his dad

[00:00:35] But he'll have more common sense

[00:00:38] Than his puddin-headed father ever had

[00:00:44] I'll teach him to wrestle and dive through a wave when we go in the morning for our swim

[00:00:49] His mother can teach him the way to behave but she won't make a sissy out of him

[00:00:55] Not him

[00:00:57] Not my boy

[00:01:00] Not Bill

[00:01:08] Bill

[00:01:10] My boy Bill

[00:01:12] I will see that he's named after me

[00:01:16] I will

[00:01:18] My boy Bill

[00:01:19] He'll be tall and as tough as a tree

[00:01:23] Will Bill

[00:01:25] Like a tree he'll grow with his head held high

[00:01:29] And his feet planted firm on the ground

[00:01:32] And you won't see nobody dare to try

[00:01:37] To boss him or toss him around

[00:01:40] No pot-bellied baggy-eyed bully will boss him around

[00:01:49] I don't give a hang what he does

[00:01:51] As long as he does what he likes

[00:01:53] He can sit on his tail or work on a a rail with a hammer

[00:01:56] A hammer and spikes

[00:01:58] He can ferry a boat on a river

[00:02:00] Or peddle a pack on his back

[00:02:02] Or work up and down the streets of town with a whip and a horse and a hack

[00:02:06] He can haul a scow along a canal

[00:02:10] Run a cow around a corral

[00:02:14] Or maybe bark for a carousel

[00:02:19] Of course it takes talent to do that well

[00:02:26] He might be a champ of the heavyweights

[00:02:28] Or a fella that sells you glue

[00:02:31] Or President of the United States

[00:02:36] That'd be alright too

[00:02:40] His mother would like that

[00:02:41] But he wouldn't be President unless he wanted to be

[00:02:44] Not Bill

[00:02:46] My boy Bill

[00:02:48] He'll be tall and as tough as a tree

[00:02:52] Will Bill

[00:02:53] Like a tree he'll grow with his head held high

[00:02:58] And his feet planted firm on the ground

[00:03:01] And you won't see nobody dare to try

[00:03:06] To boss him or toss him around

[00:03:09] No fat-bottomed flabby-faced pot-bellied baggy-eyed bully will boss him around

[00:03:21] And I'm hanged if he marries his boss's daughter

[00:03:24] A skinny-lipped lady with blood like water

[00:03:27] Who'll give him a peck and call it a kiss

[00:03:29] And look in his eyes through a lorgnette

[00:03:35] Say why am I taking on like this

[00:03:39] My kid ain't even been born yet

[00:03:44] I can see him when he's seventeen or so

[00:03:49] And starting in to go with a girl

[00:03:54] I can give him lots of pointers

[00:03:57] Very sound

[00:03:59] On the way to get 'round any girl

[00:04:02] I can tell him wait a minute

[00:04:11] Could it be

[00:04:16] What the

[00:04:18] What if he is a girl

[00:04:24] Aw Bill

[00:04:27] Bill

[00:04:31] What would I do with her

[00:04:34] What could I do for her

[00:04:37] A bum with no money

[00:04:41] You can have fun with a son but you gotta be a father to a girl

[00:04:57] She mightn't be so bad at that

[00:05:02] A kid with ribbons in her hair

[00:05:08] A kind of sweet and petite little tin-type of her mother

[00:05:15] What a pair

[00:05:19] My little girl

[00:05:28] Pink and white as peaches and cream is she

[00:05:36] My little girl is half again as bright

[00:05:43] As girls are meant to be

[00:05:51] Dozens of boys pursue her

[00:05:57] Many a likely lad

[00:05:59] Does what he can to woo her

[00:06:08] From her faithful dad

[00:06:17] She has a few pink and white

[00:06:20] Young fellers of two or three

[00:06:23] But my little girl gets hungry every night

[00:06:38] And she comes home to me

[00:06:51] I gotta get ready before she comes

[00:06:55] I gotta make certain that she

[00:06:59] Won't get dragged up in slums with a lot of bums like me

[00:07:08] She's gotta be sheltered and fed and dressed in the best that money can buy

[00:07:17] I never knew how to get money

[00:07:22] But I'll try I'll try I'll try

[00:07:28] I go out and make it

[00:07:31] Or steal it

[00:07:33] Or take it

[00:07:40] Or die
