Your Mother's Son-In-Law (with Benny Goodman and His Orchestra)
You don't have to have a Hanker
To be a broker or a banker
No siree, he 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 Bledsoe"
You can tell the world I said so
Can't you see you've got to be
My mother's son-in-law
To be a broker or a banker
No siree, he 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 Bledsoe"
You can tell the world I said so
Can't you see you've got to be
My mother's son-in-law
