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!
