Just what we've wanted has come so soon,
Before we had time to even wink.
Our daddy can understand.

Sometimes when we are late home from school
Mother gets worried, telephones dad;
He says, "Don't worry, they've broke some rule,
So you had better not be so sad."
When we return, he looks at us stern,
And says, "You've had fun, but had to pay—
I hope, from now a lesson you'll learn,
For it's no fun at school thus to stay."

When you are lazy and sit around,
He calls you to him; your pulse he feels;
On your chest he will thump for a sound;
Says, "Do you feel like dancing the reel?"
He soon gets you warm and snug in bed,
Sends for a doctor to give you pills,
When you are all so prickled and red;
He says it is just like all boys' ills.

On evenings when grown-ups all go out
To hear great music or see a play,
Father just stays around about,
Says he is tired and would rather stay.
Then we play circus, and Wild West Show,

Says he is tired and would rather stay.
