I Married the Bootlegger's Daughter

One day just by chance, at a cab drivers 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 boys

Just hang up your hat and come in"

So I married the bootlegger's daughter

And she was a terrible quin

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 the tonsils

With the bootlegger's daughter and me
