They Always Pick on Me (From "Hello Frisco, Hello"- 1943) Songtext

von Alice Faye

And so is this tune from 'Hello, Frisco, Hello', 'They Always Pick On Me'

When I was born, my Ma and Pa
They looked at me and said, "Oh, pshaw!"
The doctor said, "It's a girl, I think"
And Pa went out and got a drink
Then Ma said I looked just like Pa
And Pa said I took after Ma
Aunt Jane said I looked like a quince
And I've been a stepchild ever since

Oh, they always, always pick on me
They never, never let me be
I'm so very lonesome, awfully sad
It's a long time since I've been glad
But I know what I'll do by and by
I'll eat some worms and then I'll die
And when I'm gone, you wait and see
They'll all be sorry that they picked on me

Now, why do they always, always have to pick on me?
Why do they never, never, never let me be?
I'm so very lonesome, awfully sad
It's a long, long time since I've been glad
But I know what I'll do, mmm, by and by
I'm gonna eat me some worms and then I'll die
Oh, and when I'm gone, just wait and see
They'll all be sorry
Terribly, terribly sorry
Gee, they're really gonna be sorry that they picked on me
