Who day and night must scramble for a living

Feed a wife and children say his daily prayers

And who has the right as master of this house

To have the final word at home

The papa the papa

Tradition

The papa the papa

Tradition

Who must know the way to make a proper home

A happy home a quiet home

Who must raise the family and run the home

So papa's free to read the holy book

The mama the mama

Tradition

The mama the mama

At three I had to go to school

At ten I learned a trade

I hear they've picked a bride for me

I hope she's pretty

The sons the sons

Tradition

The sons the sons

And who does mama teach

To mend and tend and fix

Preparing me to marry

Whoever papa picks

The daughters the daughters

Tradition

The daughters the daughters
