When you're the father of boys,
How you worry,
But when you're the father of girls,
You do more than that,
You pray!

From the time of diaper and pin,
¡®till the time they cry, "don't come in!"
¡®till the time you gown them in white,
And give them away,
You worry, you worry,
You worry, night and day!

When she's a plain little girl,
How you worry,
But when she's a beautiful thing,
You do more than that,
You pray!

Boys come ¡®round when they want a date,
Girls may only stay home and wait,
When she's out you sit up all night,
With her first baby toy!

You trust her, but worry,
¡®cause you were once a boy!

When you're the father of boys,
How you worry,
But when you're the father of girls,
You do more than that,
You pray!
