Irving Berlin - Take A Little Tip From Father 20 Jan 1912 songtekst
Je score:
Old man Wilson had quite a family Seven grown up boys Handing out advice to his family Was his only joy They would come to him for his good advice Almost ev'ry day And when it came to the marriage game He'd light up his pipe and say [chorus:] Take a little tip from father Take a little tip from dad Stay far away from the beautiful girls Each little peach is a full grown lemon Wedding chimes seven times Out of ten are bad But If you find a girl like mother Get married like your dear old dad [2nd verse:] Old man Wilson said to his family "I'm for married life If a married man doesn't have to see Too much of his wife Till you find a girl like your mother dear Long you'll have to roam Your mother dear, seven months each year, Would spend with her folks down home
