When you're the father of boys, How you worry, But when you're the father of girls, You do more than that, You pray! From the time of diaper and pin, &till the time they cry, 'don't come in!' &till the time you gown them in white, And give them away, You worry, you worry, You worry, night and day! When she's a plain little girl, How you worry, But when she's a beautiful thing, You do more than that, You pray! Boys come &round when they want a date, Girls may only stay home and wait, When she's out you sit up all night, With her first baby toy! You trust her, but worry, &cause you were once a boy! When you're the father of boys, How you worry, But when you're the father of girls, You do more than that, You pray!
