The Boy In The Boat
Now, did you ever hear the story 'bout that boy in the boat,
Don't wear no shoes or no overcoat.
Broad told me that it happened like this.
He love to dive and also to fish.
He went roaming in that shallow boat.
With his head hardly rising and his eyes hard to cope.
Face is all wrinkled and his breath smells like soap.
Talking about that boy in the boat.
When you see two women walking hand in hand.
Just look 'em over and try to understand.
They'll go to these parties have their lights down low.
Only those parties where women can go.
You think I'm lying, just ask Tack Anne.
Took many a broad from many a man.
Face is still wrinkled and his breath smells like soap.
Still talking about that boy in a boat.
Ever since the year tooty-two
Lot of these dames girls have nothing to do
Uncle Sam started giving a fighting chance
Packed up all the men sent them off to France
Sent them over there those Germans to hunt
The women at home can try all that new stunts
The face is still wrinkled and his breath smells like soap.
I'm talking about that boy in the boat.
