( The ) Father of Girls ~ 1968 Album Version
- When you’re
the father of boys,
- How you worry,
- But when
you’re the father of girls,
- You do more than
that,
- You Pray!
-
- From the time of
diaper and pin,
- ‘Till the
time they cry, "don’t come in!"
- ‘Till the
time you gown them in white,
- And give them
away,
- You worry, you
worry,
- You worry, night
and day!
-
- When she’s a
plain little girl,
- How you worry,
- But when
she’s a beautiful thing,
- You do more than
that,
- You pray!
-
- Boys come
‘round when they want a date,
- Girls may only
stay home and wait,
- When she’s
out you sit up all night,
- With her first
baby toy!
-
- You trust her, but
worry,
- ‘Cause you
were once a boy!
-
- When you’re
the father of boys,
- How you worry,
- But when
you’re the father of girls,
- You do more than
that,
- You pray!
