Soliloquy (parts 1 & 2) - Frank Sinatra[00:00:00]
I wonder what think he'll 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 feller's father[00:00:18]
Well, I can![00:00:21]
I bet that he'll turn out to be[00:00:26]
The spitting 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[00:00:43]
And dive through a wave[00:00:45]
When we go in the morning for our swim[00:00:46]
His mother can teach him[00:00:49]
The way to behave[00:00:51]
But she won't make a sissy out o' him[00:00:52]
Not him! Not my boy! Not Bill![00:00:56]
My boy , Bill. I will see that[00:01:09]
He is named after me, I will.[00:01:12]
My boy, Bill! He'll be tall[00:01:18]
And tough as a tree, will Bill![00:01:21]
Like a tree he'll grow[00:01:26]
With his head held high[00:01:28]
And his feet planted firm on the ground[00:01:30]
And you won't see nobody dare to try[00:01:34]
To boss or toss him around![00:01:39]
No pot-bellied,[00:01:42]
Baggy-eyed bully'll toss him around[00:01:44]
Don't give I a damn what he does[00:01:52]
As long as he does what he likes![00:01:54]
He can sit on his tail[00:01:57]
Or work on a rail[00:01:58]
A hammer, With hammering spikes![00:01:59]
He can ferry a boat on a river[00:02:02]
Or peddle a pack on his back[00:02:05]
Or work up and down[00:02:07]
The streets of a town[00:02:08]
With a whip and a horse and a hack[00:02:09]
He can haul a scow along a canal[00:02:12]
Run a cow around a corral[00:02:16]
Or even bark for a carousel[00:02:20]
Of course it takes talent to do that well[00:02:25]
He might be a champ of theheavyweights[00:02:30]
Or a feller that sells you glue[00:02:33]
Or President of the United States[00:02:35]
That'd be all right, too[00:02:41]
His mother would like that[00:02:45]
But he wouldn't be President unless he wanted to be[00:02:47]
Not Bill![00:02:49]
My boy, Bill! He'll be tall[00:02:53]
And as tough as a tree, Bill will[00:02:55]
Like a tree he'll grow[00:03:00]
With his head held high[00:03:02]
And his feet planted firm on the ground[00:03:04]
And you won't see nobody dare to try[00:03:08]
To boss or toss him around![00:03:13]
No fat-bottomed, flabby-faced, pot-bellied,[00:03:16]
Boss him around[00:03:20]
And I'll be damned if he'll marry the boss's daughter[00:03:27]
A skinny-lipped virgin with blood like water[00:03:31]
Who'll give him a peck[00:03:34]
And call it a kiss[00:03:35]
And look in his eyes through a lorgnet[00:03:37]
Say, why am I talking on like this?[00:03:42]
My kid ain't even been born yet[00:03:46]
I can see him when he's seventeen or so[00:03:50]
And starting to go with a girl[00:03:56]
I can give him lots of pointers, very sound[00:04:02]
On the way to get around any girl[00:04:07]
I can tell him ...[00:04:13]
Wait a minute![00:04:17]
Could it be?[00:04:19]
What the hell![00:04:21]
What if he is a girl?[00:04:24]
What would I do with her?[00:04:33]
What could I do for her?[00:04:36]
A bum with no money![00:04:38]
You can have fun with a son[00:04:41]
But you got to be a father to a girl[00:04:45]
She mighn't be so bad at that[00:04:54]
A kid with ribbons in her hair![00:04:59]
A kind o' neat and petite[00:05:03]
Little tin-type of her mother![00:05:07]
What a pair![00:05:09]
My little girl[00:05:17]
Pink and white[00:05:56]
As peaches and cream is she[00:05:58]
My little girl[00:06:04]
Is half again as bright[00:06:06]
As girls are meant to be![00:06:11]
Dozens of boys pursue her[00:06:18]
Many a likely lad does what he can to woo her[00:06:23]
From her faithful dad[00:06:34]
She has a few[00:06:39]
Pink and white young fellers of two and three[00:06:42]
But my little girl[00:06:49]
Gets hungry every night[00:06:51]
And she come home to me![00:06:56]
I got to get ready before she comes![00:07:05]
I got to make certain that she[00:07:10]
Won't be dragged up in slums[00:07:14]
With a lot o' bums like me[00:07:17]
She's got to be sheltered[00:07:24]
And be dressed in the best money can buy![00:07:26]
I never knew how to get money[00:07:32]
But, I'll try, by God! I'll try![00:07:36]
I'll go out and make it or steal it[00:07:42]
Or take it or die![00:07:47]
