Soliloquy - Frank Sinatra[00:00:00]
I wonder what he'll think of me[00:00:08]
I guess he'll call me "the old man"[00:00:12]
I guess he'll think I can lick[00:00:16]
Every other fella's father[00:00:18]
Well I can[00:00:21]
I bet that he turns out to be[00:00:26]
The spittin' image of his dad[00:00:30]
But he'll have more common sense[00:00:34]
Than his puddin'-headed father ever had[00:00:36]
I'll teach him to wrassle and dive through a wave[00:00:43]
When we go in the morning for our swim[00:00:46]
His mother can teach him the way to behave[00:00:49]
But she won't make a sissy out o' him[00:00:52]
Not him Not my boy Not Bill[00:00:55]
My boy Bill[00:01:09]
I will see that he is named after me I will[00:01:10]
My boy Bill[00:01:17]
He'll be tall and tough as a tree will Bill[00:01:19]
Like a tree he'll grow with his head held high[00:01:25]
And his feet planted firm on the ground[00:01:29]
And you won't see nobody dare[00:01:33]
To try to boss or toss him around[00:01:36]
No pot-bellied baggy-eyed bully'll boss him around[00:01:40]
I don't give a damn what he does[00:01:50]
As long as he does what he likes[00:01:53]
He can sit on his tail or work on a rail[00:01:55]
With a hammer and hammer in spikes[00:01:57]
He can ferry a boat on a river[00:02:00]
Or peddle a pack on his back[00:02:02]
Or work up and down the streets of a town[00:02:04]
With a whip and a horse and a hack[00:02:07]
He can haul a scow along a canal[00:02:09]
Run a cow around a corral[00:02:14]
Or even bark for a carousel[00:02:18]
Of course it takes talent to do that well[00:02:23]
He might be a champ of the heavyweights[00:02:29]
Or a fella that sells you glue[00:02:31]
Or President of the United States[00:02:33]
That'd be all right too[00:02:39]
His mother would like that[00:02:44]
But he wouldn't be President[00:02:45]
Unless he wanted to be[00:02:46]
Not Bill[00:02:48]
My boy Bill he'll be tall[00:02:50]
And as tough as a tree will Bill[00:02:53]
Like a tree he'll grow with his head held high[00:02:58]
And his feet planted firm on the ground[00:03:02]
And you won't see nobody dare to try[00:03:06]
To boss or toss him around[00:03:10]
No fat-bottomed flabby-faced pot-bellied[00:03:13]
Baggy-eyed bully'll boss him around[00:03:17]
And I'll be damned[00:03:25]
If he'll marry his boss's daughter[00:03:26]
A skinny-lipped virgin with blood like water[00:03:28]
Who'll give him a peck and call it a kiss[00:03:31]
And look in his eyes through a lorgnette[00:03:34]
Say why am I takin' on like this[00:03:40]
My kid ain't even been born yet[00:03:44]
I can see him when he's seventeen[00:03:48]
Or so and startin' in to go with a girl[00:03:53]
I can give him lots of pointers very sound[00:04:01]
On the way to get 'round any girl[00:04:06]
I can tell him[00:04:13]
Wait a minute[00:04:17]
Could it be[00:04:19]
What the hell[00:04:22]
What if he is a girl[00:04:24]
You can have fun with a son[00:04:42]
But you got to be a father to a girl[00:04:46]
She mighn't be so bad at that[00:04:55]
A kid with ribbons in her hair[00:05:00]
A kind of neat and petite little tin-type of her mother[00:05:05]
What a pair[00:05:11]
My little girl pink and white[00:05:54]
As peaches and cream is she[00:06:00]
My little girl is half again as bright[00:06:06]
As girls were meant to be[00:06:13]
Dozens of boys pursue her many a likely lad[00:06:20]
Does what he can to woo her[00:06:31]
From her faithful dad[00:06:36]
She has a few pink and white young fellas[00:06:42]
Of two and three[00:06:48]
But my little girl gets hungry ev'ry night[00:06:52]
And she comes home to me[00:06:59]
I gotta get ready before she comes[00:07:08]
I Gotta make certain that she won't be dragged up[00:07:12]
In slums with a lot o' bums like me[00:07:17]
She's gotta be sheltered and fed[00:07:24]
And dressed in the best that money can buy[00:07:27]
I never knew how to get money but[00:07:32]
I'll try by God I'll try[00:07:36]
I'll go out and make it or take it[00:07:42]
Or steal it or die[00:07:48]
