Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 9
SCHNEIDER'S LITTLE BOY.
Recited by George S. Knight.
'Tis nice to have a leetle son
Who, vhen your day of toil is done,
Who'll climb und kiss yust for fun.
Now I own such a leetle son-
Und dey call him Schneider's boy.
Uf some von pours ink on granny's gray hair,
Und puts a pin on grandpa's chair,
Und makes de poor old fellow shwear
Und jump ub six feet in de air-
Although he may not have been dere-
Dey say it vas Schneider's boy.
Uf some von cuts de tail off de cat,
Or puts a brick in his fader's hat,
Und vhen it falls it knocks de old man flat;
Und breaks de clock mit a baseball bat,
Und vhen I lay in bed pull out de slat-
Dey say it vas Schneider's boy.
Uf vhen his sister puts on her sealskin sack,
He'll jump off a chair upon her back
Und give her ruby lips a shmack;
Und for it gets a terrible crack
Dot makes him shout out "Paddy Whack!"
Und he goes out und knocks a horse car off de track;
I shpank him vhere his pants are slack-
Den I know it is Schneider's boy.
