The Capitol Singles Collection movie - That's My Boy! lyrics

rate me

What do I treasure most of all I possess?<br>

It isn't fame or fortune, I must confess.<br>

It's not a house, it's not a book, it's not a precious stone.<br>

It's just a little curly head that I call my own.<br>

<br>

Just take a look, ah, that's my boy.<br>

Why, he's his daddy's little pride and joy.<br>

The keeper of the keys to my heart.<br>

Now, what's he gonna do with that poison dart?<br>

<br>

Just take a look, ah, that's my lad.<br>

Why, I'm in Heaven when he calls me 'Dad.'<br>

He's all in life I'll ever desire.<br>

See how cute, he sets the mailman on fire!<br>

<br>

Little rascal, with his tousled hair,<br>

Always seems so full of life.<br>

Tiny footsteps, scampering here and there.<br>

Just see how proudly he carries that knife!<br>

<br>

When he's not giving Daddy a hug,<br>

You'll find him pouring acid on the rug. Cute!<br>

He's just an angel with an axe for a toy.<br>

Ha ha, that's my boy.<br>

<br>

Oh, just take a look, ah, that's my child.<br>

Why, to call him bright would be just putting it mild.<br>

He'll talk to you in words just as plain.<br>

See how clear he says, "Derail the train!"<br>

<br>

To me that little scamp can do no wrong.<br>

He comes a-running when I call. Look at that!<br>

He's so busy-busy all day long.<br>

Now who's he gone and cemented up inside that wall?!<br>

<br>

He falls in love with anything live.<br>

He wants a colt for Christmas - Colt .45!<br>

I'm mighty proud to call him my son.<br>

Ha ha, look at him load that gun. Got his own little shoulder holster!<br>

<br>

I'm mighty thankful for what I've got.<br>

But I'm sure glad he's such a lousy shot.<br>

Take a look - missed me! That's my boy!<br>
