Dee Dee Bridgewater - Mother's Son-in-Law lyrics

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' You don't have to sing like Bledsoe You can tell the world I said so Can't you see you got to 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 mama's son-in-law
