30 VARIETY IT IS READY! THAT MUCH TALKED OF SURE-FIRE HIT! 1ST VERSE. "Come in!" naif! Father Johnson, as a knock came on the door, His youngest son walked In, Upon his fare a grin; He twirled his thumbs, and blushed quite red, and said: "Dear Dad, I hate to tell you. But I'm going to elope tonight at eight." His father winked his eye. As he made this reply: CHORUS. "Tour Daddy did the same thing fifty years ago. He went to a lot of bother, Just to have you call him father. Everybody thought your dear old Dad was slow, Her mother and her brother thought your Ma would wed another. But they couldn't fool your Daddy fifty years ago, He acted in the same old way, He looked in your mother's eyes, Told an awful lot of lies, And that's why you're here today."
