Lyrics
A man named William Morgan took his gal to see a play.
And on the journey homeward they stopped into a café.
As soon as they were seated Lizzie grabbed the bill of fare.
She called the waiter and she ordered ev’rything that’s there.
Bill Morgan said this gal must think I am a millionaire. So he said:

Chorus:
My name is Morgan, but it ain’t J.P.
There are no banks on Wall Street that belong to me.
Forget that champagne appetite for the best you’ll get is beer tonight.
My name is Morgan, but it ain’t J.P.

Bill asked her on a boat ride on a sunny summer day.
He said he’d meet her later at the dock down by the bay.
She bought six yachting costumes in some very fancy stores.
But she looked disappointed when she met him there because
Bill showed up in a row-boat with an extra pair of oars. And he said:

Chorus:
My name is Morgan, but it ain’t J.P.
You must think I’m the owner of the Queen Mary.
You might have known me pretty long but you’ve got my initials very wrong.
My name is Morgan, but it ain’t J.P.

Bill Morgan married Lizzie thinkin’ he could change her ways,
But Liz went on a shopping spree that lasted for thirty days.
When six big deliv’ry wagons pulled right up to his front door.
Bill Morgan grabbed his hat and coat, he need nothing more.
When Liz got home she found a note that Bill pinned on the door. And it said:

Chorus:
My name is Morgan, but it ain’t J.P.
You must think that I own some railroad company.
There’s nothing in the marriage laws where it says I look like Santa Claus.
My name is Morgan, but it ain’t J.P.
