Send for the doctor, hurry quick
'Cause papa's in the bedroom, death's his pick
Don't tell the neighbors what it's all about
He's had a drink of all the liquor and knocked him out
Mama, Mama
Hurry Mama, hurry
Oh, papa's in bed with his britches on
A-papa's in bed with his britches on
Sister, brother
Run and tell poor mother
Oh, papa's in bed with his britches on
A-papa's in bed with his britches on
Late this morning, about half past ten
Oh, papa's come falling in
Lipstick on his cheek and a knot on his chin
No hat, no shoes, but a belly full of gin
Uncle, Auntie
He's still got on his hontee
Oh, papa's in bed with his britches on
A-papa's in bed with his britches on
ย
Late this morning, about five o'clock
Father brought down the entire block
The folks across the hall put the key in the lock
When he fell in the door, he was beat to his socks
ย
A-papa's in bed with his britches on
A-papa's in bed with his britches on
