A Boy's Tribute

          Prettiest girl I've ever seen
                 Is Ma.
          Lovelier than any queen
                 Is Ma.
          Girls with curls go walking by,
          Dainty, graceful, bold an' shy,
          But the one that takes my eye
                 Is Ma.

          Every girl made into one
                 Is Ma.
          Sweetest girl to look upon
                 Is Ma.
          Seen 'em short and seen 'em tall,
          Seen 'em big and seen 'em small,
          But the finest one of all
                 Is Ma.

          Best of all the girls on earth
                 Is Ma.
          One that all the rest is worth
                 Is Ma.
          Some have beauty, some have grace,
          Some look nice in silk and lace,
          But the one that takes first place
                 Is Ma.

          Sweetest singer in the land
                 is Ma.
          She that has the softest hand
                 Is Ma.
          Tenderest, gentlest nurse is she,
          Full of fun as she can be,
          An' the only girl for me
                 Is Ma.

          Bet if there's an angel here
                 It's Ma.'
          if God has a sweetheart dear,
                 It's Ma.
          Take the girls that artists draw,
          An' all the girls I ever saw,
          The only one without a flaw
                 Is Ma.
