paroles de chanson I Married the Bootlegger's Daughter - Frank Crumit

One day just by chance
At a cab driver's dance
A wonderful girlie I found
A bootlegger's daughter
Who always drank water
Unless there was liquor around

So I married the bootlegger's daughter
And really it isn't so bad
I work all the day
But it's nothing but play
Just taking out orders for Dad
I know that the stuff's full of poison
But me and my sweetie won't die
When we want a drink
We go out to the sink
The bootlegger's daughter and I

When I asked her to wed
"Go to father" she said
He's down at the still making gin
Said he "It's with joy that I welcome you boy
Just hang up your hat and come in"

So I married the bootlegger's daughter
And she was a terrible quince
I kissed her goodnight
Where the moonlight was bright
And I've been on a jag ever since
They say that her money is tainted
Though it ain't quite as taint as they say
She came with a breath
That would scare you to death
But Listerine took it away

So I married the bootlegger's daughter
And now I'm just rolling in dough
The way she drinks gin
Is a terrible sin
But "girls will be girls" as you know
Prohibition's the least of our worries
For the whole bloomin' world may go dry
Her Dad made his will
And he left the old still
To the bootlegger's daughter and I

Oh! hail! hail! the gang's all here
Mustn't say the naughty word
Mustn't say the naughty word

I'm meeting the very best people
And moving in high society
Tonight the Mexican consul
Is bathing his tonsil
With the bootlegger's daughter and me
