Show Just Folks EDGAR A. A GUEST FATHER FATHERA A father lather is a fellow with a lot lotof lotof lotof of curious ways The best that's said about him is the monthly bill he pays But his notions are old fash as so fr frequently hes he's 5 told And hell he'll prove it by the label all his suits are five years ears old The mother and the daughters often smile when hes he's about Hes He's awkward and hes he's dowdy but hes he's such a good old scout He has no idea of color or of fashions up-to-date up His trouser knees are baggy and his neckties never straight A father is the fellow who needs watching day by day If It the family didn't warn him hed he'd get lost upon the way He would always be in trouble as they frequently allow If It his loved ones didn't tell him what to do and when and how A father doesn't really reany know what's going on at all Its It's a different world entirely from the one that hell he'll recall He thinks twelve o'clock is late enough for children to be out But somehow they set seem m to love him for hes he's such a good old scout Protected 1940 by the George Matthew Adams Service |
