Poor Papa (He's Got Nothing At All) Songtext
von Kay Starr

Mama′s got shoes Mama's got clothes
Mama′s got these and Mama's got those
But poor Papa, poor Papa he's got nothin′ at all

Mama goes here and Mama goes there
Mama goes out to every affair
But poor Papa, poor Papa, he waits out in the hall

Christmas comes and Mama gets the most expensive frocks
Papa gets a necktie and a pair of ten-cent socks

Everyone cheers when Mama appears
She′s got diamonds stuck in her ears
But poor Papa, poor Papa he's got nothin′ at all


Mama eats ham and Mama eats lamb
Better order Mama with cheesecake and jam
Poor Papa, he's got nothin′ at all

Papa says oh Papa says ah
But Mama says boo and Mama says bah
Sad poor Papa, he says nothin' at all

Papa bought a limousine the most expensive kind
Now he wears a chauffeur′s suit and Mama rides behind

Mama's got silk and satin beneath
She's got gold in all of her teeth
But poor Papa, poor Papa
Dear old Dad, he′s sad, he′s got nothin' at all
