My mother's son-in-law

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
I 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 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
I wish you'd make it proper
To call my papa 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
