Following in My Father's Footsteps (Don't Dilly Dally on the Way)
To follow in your Father's footsteps Is a motto for each boy And following in Father's footsteps is A thing I much enjoy My Mother caught me out one evening Up the West End on the spree She said, “Where are you going?” I answered, “Don't ask me,”
I'm following in Father's footsteps I'm following the dear old dad He's just in front with a fine big gal So I thought that I'd have one as well I don't know where he's going But when he gets there I'll be glad I'm following in Father's footsteps I'm following the dear old dad.
To dinner up in town last night I went And pa went there as well How many lemonades we had, my word I really couldn't tell At 2am pa started off for home Like this, and so did I Folks said ”Mind where you are going” But I simply made reply.
