Alberta Nichols / Mann Holiner

|
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
|
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 like Jessel
|
You can tell the world I said so
|
Can't you see, you've got to be
|
My mother's son-in-law.
