Aunty
I'm sorry for a feller if he hasn't any aunt
To let him eat and do the things his mother says he can't.
An aunt to come a visitin' or one to go and see
Is just about the finest kind of lady there could be.

Of course she's not your mother, an' she hasn't got her ways
But a part that's most important in a feller's life she plays.
She is kind an' she is gentle, an' sometimes she's full of fun
An' she's very sympathetic when some dreadful thing you've done.
An' she likes to buy you candy, and' she's always getting toys
That you wish your Pa would get you, for she hasn't any boys.
But sometimes she's over-loving, an' your cheeks turn red with shame
When she smothers you with kisses, but you like her just the same.
