Ferryboat Bill Lyrics
Ferryboat Bill, won't you please come home?
You know your wife has married a midget's son
And that's the short and long of it
(That's the short and long of it)
That's the short and long of it
(That's the short and long of it)
Doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo
Ferryboat Bill, won't you please come home?
You know your wife has married a midget's son
You know your wife has married a midget's son
And that's the short and long of it
(That's the short and long of it)
That's the short and long of it
(That's the short and long of it)
Doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo
Ferryboat Bill, won't you please come home?
You know your wife has married a midget's son
And that's the short and long of it
(That's the short and long of it)
That's the short and long of it
(That's the short and long of it)
Doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo
