Lyrics
Verse 1:
Baby Mabel, seven years old
Sitting on her daddy's knee
Cried, "I've been a good little girl
Please give a penny to me"
Daddy softly sighed
Gave her a penny and cried
Chorus:
You've got your mother's big blue eyes
You've got your mother's teeth like pearl!
I must confess you are
The image of your ma
From your nose to your toes to your curls
The way you ask for pennies shows
You know just what your mother knows
And when you grow up to be a great big lady
Like your daddy wants you to
If you're half the lady your mother is
I'll be mighty proud of you
