Original Broadway Cast - Little Boy, Be A Man

Little boy be a man
that was pop's only plan
He never kissed me
Or sang Baby mine
Sure I'd have loved a hug
But hey I came out just fine
And if I ever would cry
He'd smack the tear from out my eye
He told me Grow up kid
You're no Peter Pan
Little boy be a man
Little man grow some balls
That motto rang
Throught the halls
On my tenth birthday
He showed me a gun
Then took me to the cornfliefds
And said Okay run
His sense of humor was lame
Lucky for me sa was his aim
If he had sewn some needlepoint
That hung on the walls
It woulda said Little man
Grow some balls
Ballgames that he missed
Nights he came home pissed
Well I don't think about
That any longer
No one in the bleachers
Fistfights with my teachers
I'm living proof what
Doesn't kill ya
Makes ya stronger
Little man little me
They come with no warranty
I tried to fix it
But who would've guessed
It's hard to say but father
Doesn't always know best
So Carl when you have a kid
My ex said heaven forbid
Do as I say not as I did
Like dad after dad after
dad after dad
Since the whole mess began
You do the best that you can
Little boy be a man
Little boy be a man
that was pop's only plan
He never kissed me
Or sang Baby mine
Sure I'd have loved a hug
But hey I came out just fine
And if I ever would cry
He'd smack the tear from out my eye
He told me Grow up kid
You're no Peter Pan
Little boy be a man
Little man grow some balls
That motto rang
Throught the halls
On my tenth birthday

Then took me to the cornfliefds
