Feet Up
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
Let's hear him laugh, Ha-ha!
Feet up, pat him on the po-po
Let's hear him laugh
Ain't seen a babe like this before
He's so good-lookin', gonna have some more
Feet up, pat him on the po-po
Let's hear him laugh
Hey-hey, now I've been known to gamble
And take a little drink
Then there's the night I had a fight
And landed in the clink
But now my rootin' tootin' days are done
Gotta be the man
That he thinks I am
'Cause I love my son
Oh, feet up, pat him on the po-po
Let's hear him laugh, Ha-ha!
Feet up, pat him on the po-po
Let's hear him laugh
Ain't seen a babe like this before
He's so good-lookin', gonna have some more
Feet up, pat him on the po-po
Let's hear him laugh
Hey-hey, I've known a lot of women
When I was on the go
They'd stand in line to drink my wine
And help me spend my dough
But my wife Rosie ain't that kind
Got her to thank
For a buck in the bank
An' this kid of mine
(Ha-ha-ha!)
(Ha-ha-ha!)
(Ha, ha, ha-ha-ha, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
(Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha , ha,)
I'm gonna do some braggin'
Up and down the town
I'm walkin' into joints I knew
And passin' news around
That me and Rosie got a son
Though he's just been born
Gonna buy him a horn
A baseball and drum
Oh, feet up, pat him on the po-po
Let's hear him laugh, Ha-ha!
Feet up, pat him on the po-po
Let's hear him laugh
Ain't seen a babe like this before
He's so good-lookin', gonna have some more
Feet up, pat him on the po-po
Let's hear him laugh
He-he's as tiny as a peanut
And yet I do declare
Some day he'll look at me and say
"Hey, how you doin' down there?"
He'll be good-hearted like his Ma
But I bet he'll be a lady-killer
Just like his Pa
Oh, feet up, pat him on the po-po
Let's hear him laugh, Ha-ha!
Feet up, pat him on the po-po
Let's hear him laugh
Ain't seen a babe like this before
He's so good-lookin', gonna have some more
Feet up, pat him on the po-po
Let's hear him laugh
(Let's hear him laugh) Hey!
