Little Boy, Be a Man Tom Wopat (Ft. Norbert Leo Butz)

[FRANK SR, spoken]
It's the way of the world, Carl
Our fathers screw us up, we turn around, do the same thing to our kids
Eternal cycle

[HANRATTY, spoken]
Until somebody breaks it

[FRANK SR]
"Little boy, be a man"
Yeah, that was Pop's only plan
He never kissed me
Or sang "Baby Mine"
Sure, I'd have loved a hug
But hey, I came out just fine
And if I ever would cry
He'd smack the tear from out my eye
He told me "Grow up, kid
You're no Peter Pan
Little boy, be a man"

[HANRATTY, spoken]
But, you wanna do your kid better. Right?

[FRANK SR, spoken]
You got any kids, Carl?
