Boy In The Boat

Now, did you ever hear the story 'bout that boy in a boat
Don't wear no shoes or no overcoat
Broad told me that it happened like this
He love to dive and also to fish
He went roaming in that shallow boat
With his head hardly rising and his eyes hard to cope
Face is all wrinkled and his breath smells like soap
Talking about that boy in the boat

When you see two women walking hand in hand
Just look 'em over and try to understand
They'll go to those parties, have the lights down low
Only those parties where women can go
You think I'm lying, just ask Tack Ann
Took many a broad from many a man
Face is still wrinkled and his breath smells like soap
Still talkin' 'bout that boy in the boat

Now, back in the year, tooty-two
A lot of these dames ain't got nothin' to do
Uncle Sam thought he'd give 'em a fighting chance
Packed up all the men and sent 'em on to France
Sent 'em over there, those Germans to hunt
So the women at home could try out all their new stunts
His face is all wrinkled and his breath smells like soap
I'm talking bout the boy in the boat
