Mother's Son-in-law Lyrics - Eleanora Fagan (1915-1959): To Billie With Love From Dee Dee - Dee Dee Bridgewater

You don't have to have a hanker 

To be a broker or a banker 

No, sir you, just got to be 

My mother's son-in-law 

Needn't even think of tryin' 

To be a mighty social lion 

Sippin' tea, if you will 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'
