Saturday morning he jumped out of bed and put on his best suit
Got in his car and raced like a jet, all the way to you
Knocked on your door with heart in his hand
To ask you a question
Cause he knows that you're an old fashioned man yeah yeah

He said: "Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life? say yes, say yes
Cause I need to know"
You say: "I'll never get your blessings till the day I die
Tough luck my friend but the answer is no!"

Why you gotta be [bad word] 
Don't you know I'm human too
why you gotta be [bad word] 
I'm gonna marry him anyway
marry that boy
marry her anyway
marry that boy
yeah no matter what you say
marry that boy
and we'll be a family

Why you gotta be [bad word] 

I hate to do this, you leave no choice
Can't live without him
Love him or hate him we will be boys
Standing at that alter
or we [bad word] away
to another galaxy you know
You know I'm in love with him
I will go anywhere he goes

He said: "Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life? say yes, say yes
Cause I need to know"
You say: "I'll never get your blessings till the day I die
Tough luck my friend cause the answer's still no!"

Why you gotta be [bad word] 
Don't you know I'm human too
why you gotta be [bad word] 
I'm gonna marry him anyway
marry that boy
marry her anyway
marry that boy
yeah no matter what you say
marry that boy
and we'll be a family
