[Chorus] Feet up, pat him on the po-po Let's hear him laugh Ha-ha! Feet up, pat him on the po-po Let's hear him laugh Ain't seen a babe like this before He's so good-lookin', gonna have some more Feet up, pat him on the po-po Let's hear him laugh Ha-ha now I've been known to gamble, take a little drink Then there's the night I had a fight and landed in the clink But now my rootin' tootin' days are done Gotta be the man that he thinks I am 'cause I love my son Oh [Chorus] Ha-ha I knew a lot of women when I was on the go They'd stand in line to drink my wine and help me spend my dough But my wife Rosie ain't that kind Got her to thank for a buck in the bank 'n' this kid of mine (Ha-ha-ha!)
