Your Mother's Son - In - Law Lyrics - Billie Holiday

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. 

Needn't even think of tryin' 

To be a mighty social lion 

Sipping tea, if you'll be 

My mother's son-in-law, 

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 

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.
