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, sir, you just got to be

My mother's son-in-law

Needn't even think of tryin'

To be a mighty socialite

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

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
