Boys will be boys, it's a fact of human nature And girls will grow up to be mothers
Look at little Peter, isn't he a terror? Shooting all the neighbors with his cowboy gun Screaming like a jet plane, always throwing something I just can't control him. Trouble - he's the one.
Ah but boys will be boys, it's a fact of human nature And girls will grow up to be mothers
Look at little Janie, Doesn't she look pretty? Playing with her dolly, proper little mum Never getting dirty, never being naughty Don't punch your sister Peter, now look at what you've done
Ah but boys will be boys, it's a fact of human nature And girls will grow up to be mothers
What's come over Janie, Janie's turning nasty Left hook to the body, right hook in the eye Vicious little hussy, now Peter's started bawling What a bloody sissy, who said you could cry
Because boys must be boys, it's a fact of human nature And girls must grow up to be mothers
Now things are topsy turvy. Janie wants a football Peter just seems happy pushing prams along Makes you feel so guilty. Kids are such a worry Doctor, doctor, tell me, where did we go wrong
Because boys must be boys, it's a fact of human nature And girls must grow up to be mothers
