I Want to Be Your Mother's Son-in-Law

You don't have to have a hanker

To be a broker or a banker;

No, sirree, just live to be

My mother's son-in-law!

Needn't even think of tryin'

To be a mighty social lion

Sippin' tea, if you will 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 got to be

My mother's son-in-law!

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 mama's son-in-law!
