When my friend William was five years old He wanted a doll, to hug and hold "A doll," said William, "is what I need To wash and clean, and dress and feed "A Doll to give a bottle to And put to bed when day is through And any time my doll gets ill I'll take good care of it," said my friend Bill A doll, a doll, William wants a doll Don't be a sissy said his best friend Ed Why should a boy want to play with a doll Dolls are for girls said his cousin Fred Don't be a jerk, said his older brother "I know what to do," said his father to his mother So his father bought him a basketball A badminton set, and that's not all A bag of marbles, a baseball glove And all the things a boy would love And Bill was good at every game Enjoyed them all, but all the same When Billy's father praised his skill "Can I please have a doll now," said my friend Bill A doll, a doll, William wants a doll A doll, a doll, William wants a doll Then William's grandma arrived one day And wanted to know what he liked to play And Bill said, "Baseball's my favorite game I like to play, but all the same "I'd give my bat and ball and glove To have a doll that I could love" "How very wise," his grandma said Said Bill, "but everyone says this instead" A doll, a doll, William wants a doll A doll, a doll, William wants a doll So William's grandma, as I've been told Bought William a doll, to hug and hold And William's father began to frown But grandma smiled, and calmed him down Explaining, William wants a doll So when he has a baby someday He'll know how to dress it, put diapers on double And gently caress it to bring up a bubble And care for his baby as every good father Should learn to do William has a doll, William has a doll 'Cause someday he is gonna be a father, too
