[00:05.23]No one could do it like my father [00:1...
[00:05.23]No one could do it like my father
[00:13.2]Ever clever stunning cunning father
[00:17.98]Mother thinks a lot of pa
[00:21.19]But father drinks to think of ma
[00:27.23]The other night when pa came home he found to his surprise
[00:31.83]The iceman and my mother on the sofa making eyes
[00:36.14]He did not get excited no not one word did he say
[00:41.14]But when the iceman's bill came due papa refused to pay
[00:44.82]No one could do it like my father
[00:47.7]Ever clever stunning cunning father
[00:50.28]Father proved he was no slouch
[00:52.14]He fooled them all when he sold the couch
[00:54.95]And no one could do it like my dad
[00:57.04]When father went to school they tell me he was very bad
[01:02.56]They also say he had a purpose to make teacher mad
[01:08.979996]No one could do it like my father
[01:11.8]Ever clever stunning cunning father
[01:16.06]Teacher knew a thing or two
[01:18.67]We lived right by a railway station not so far from here
[01:22.05]And father would make faces at the passing engineers
[01:25.520004]They'd all throw coal at father yes they would upon my soul
[01:29.24]No one could do it like my father
[01:32.009995]Ever clever stunning cunning father
[01:33.78]First he got coal one by one
[01:35.46]And now he sells it by the ton
[01:37.22]Around election time my father never knows his name
[01:41.479996]Sometimes it's Breen or Smith or Green Gilhouley or McShane
[01:43.47]Then other times it's Harrigan O'Connor or O'Dell
[01:46.05]They ought to call him Winchester 'cause he repeats so well
[01:48.32]No one could do it like my father
[01:50.34]Ever clever stunning cunning father
[01:52.5]When you see him change his coat
[01:54.95]You know that means another vote
[01:57.42]And no one could do it like my dad
[01:58.96]And no one could do it like my dad
[02:00.36]And when the winter came around we never needed coal
[02:03.47]She always wore a low cut shoe
[02:05.12]No one could do it like my dad
[02:07.37]She'd make him stay in after school and pa would ne'er refuse
[02:09.83]And no one could do it like my dad
[02:11.8]I hate to brag about my fam'ly but I must say that
[02:14.85]My father is the greatest man who ever wore a hat
[02:18.68]He always took things easy in an easy sort of way
[02:21.95]No one could do it like my father
[02:23.62]Ever clever stunning cunning father
[02:26.69]Other men might do the same
[02:28.26]But when it came to make a name
[02:30.87]At keeping servant girls my father always was an ace
[02:34.27]He had a certain way to keep the ladies in their place
[02:37.89]Their place was in the kitchen and his place to keep them there
[02:43.6]I don't know how he did it but I really must declare
[02:48.56]No one could do it like my father
[02:50.49]Ever clever stunning cunning father
[02:53.38]Servants liked the cops of course
[02:59.05]So father joined the police force
[03:03.84]No one could do it like my dad
[03:09.07]One night papa went in to see that great Salome dance
[03:18.86]You talk about attention say he gave her ev'ry glance
[03:23.28]He has my mother dancing now her brain is in a whirl
[03:27.82]And only here last week he came home with a string of pearls
[03:40.36]No one could do it like my father
[03:43.11]Ever clever stunning cunning father
[03:47.35]Now he always stays at home
[03:50.64]Mama has learned that dance Salome
[03:53.27]My mother weighs three hundred pounds but don't give it away
[03:58.03]She bought a brand new sheath gown and she wore it yesterday
[04:01.73]My father showed his dignity when mother showed her sock
[04:05.59]Then just to make the two ends meet he used a big padlock
[04:09.13]No one could do it like my father
[04:12.36]Ever clever stunning cunning father
[04:16.32]Neighbor Jones and his neighbor Lee
[04:18.82]Are hunting for my father's key
[04:21.07]And no one could do it like my dad
[04:23.14]I haven't told you how my father and my mother wed
[04:27.71]She was an old maid he a burglar underneath her bed
[04:32.26]She flashed a gun at father and said I must be your wife
[04:42.45]My father wears a medal now for saving someone's life
[04:51.06]No one could do it like my dad
[04:53.04]No one could do it like my dad
[04:57.99]And when it came to taking things just kindly let me say
