Chorus
Poor old Dad’s in New York for the Summer
He’s a martyr, you all will agree
He can’t get away, for even a day
To the mountains or down to the sea
Oh, oh, oh, how he misses dear mother
Away in that beautiful clime
While he has to work like a poor ribbon clerk
In the good old Summertime
Chorus
Poor old Dad’s in New York for the Summer
He’s a martyr, you all will agree
He can’t get away, for even a day
To the mountains or down to the sea
Oh, oh, oh, how he misses dear mother
Away in that beautiful clime
While she’s out of reach he is out with a peach
In the good old Summertime
