Tom Smith - Curmudgeon's Son lyrics

Jenny be fair, and Jenny be fine, and wants me for to wed, And I would marry Jenny, but my father up and said, "I hate to tell you something, son, you maybe never knew, But Jenny's voted Democrat since Nineteen-Eighty-Two." Well, Julie be fair, and Julie be fine, and wants me for to wed, And I would marry Julie, but my father up and said, "Now listen, boy, a girl's a toy for cold and lonely nights, And Julie's worked the last decade for womens' equal rights." Well, Mary is fair, and Mary is fine, and wants to marry me, But Father said, "You're out of your head, she's not the girl for thee, She works in an abortion clinic, lives with pain and strife, And might get blown to smithereens one night by Right to Life." Well, Rachel is cute, and thinks of me as husband-on-the-hoof, But when my father heard of it, he up and hit the roof: "How can you think to marry her? My God, the girl's a Jew!" I didn't mention Stephanie, who's pagan through and through. Fine! Gail is cute, and Gail is tough, and wants to be my pal. But Dad said, "Marry her if you must, but don't befriend a gal!" I tried to tell him Gail does not want to marry me, But Gail told him better than I -- best two falls out of three. Well, every time a woman seems to be the one for me, My father blows it all to Hell with his philosophy, But I prefer my lady friends, and they have much more cla**, So I'll have an affair with whomever I care, and Dad can kiss my a**.
