[Verse 1]
You don't have to have a hanker
To be a broker or a banker
No siree, just simply be
My mother's son-in-law

[Verse 2]
Needn't even think of tryin'
To be a mighty social lion
Sipping tea, if you'll be
My mother's son-in-law

[Bridge]
Ain't got the least desire
To set the world on fire
Just wish you'd make it proper
To call my old man papa

[Verse 3]
You don't have to sing like Bledsoe
You can tell the world I said so
Can't you see you've got to be
My mother's son-in-law?

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
You don't have to sing Bledsoe
You can tell the world I said so
Can't you see you've got to be
My mother's son-in-law?
