(Herbert Magidson, Con Conrad)


As recorded by:
Harry Roy & His Orchestra
v. Harry Roy, Bill Currie, Ivor Moreton
Recorded 4th October 1934



Yes sir, I love your daughter
She’s very charming and very fine
Yes sir I love your daughter
And I’d like to make her mine

Oh, no sir, I can’t support her
You give her sables and fancy hose
Yes sir, I love your daughter 
But I cannot buy her those

I’ll give her all the simple things
A little farm with cows and chickens too
She’ll learn to love the simple things
A little baby chair, we’ll be so happy there

Yes sir, I love your daughter
I’d like to sign on the dotted line
Yes sir, I love your daughter 
And I’d like to make her mine

(Musical Break)

Yes sir, I love your daughter
You know her birth is of high degree
Still sir, I love your daughter
And I know that she loves me

Well, me boy, can you support her
You know she’s fond of expensive clothes
Oowie, sir, we rather thought that 
You’d supply the these and those

I’ll give her all the simple things
You think she’d learn to cope with poverty
She’d learn to love the simple things
Why you talk just like a schoolboy 
With your head among the clouds

“Oh, please sir, I love your daughter”
“You know she’s fifty if she’s a day”
“However, me boy, I like your cheek”
“And I can have her?” “That’s OK“.
“Whoopeeeee!
