when you’re the father of boys
how you worry
but when you’re the father of girls
you do more than that
you pray
from the time of diaper and pin
’till the time they cry don’t come in
’till the time you gown them in white
and give them away
you worry you worry
you worry night and day
when she’s a plain little girl
how you worry
but when she’s a beautiful thing
you do more than that
you pray
boys come ’round when they want a date
girls may only stay home and wait
when she’s out you sit up all night
with her first baby toy
you trust her but worry
’cause you were once a boy
when you’re the father of boys
how you worry
but when you’re the father of girls
you do more than that
you pray
