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

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 her anyway
marry that girl 
marry her anyway
marry that girl
yeah no matter what you say
marry that girl
and we'll be a family

Why you gotta be [bad word] 

I hate to do this, you leave no choice 
I can't live without her 
Love me or hate me we will be boys
Standing at that alter 
or we [bad word] away 
to another galaxy you know 
You know she's in love with me
She will go anywhere I go 

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 her anyway
marry that girl 
marry her anyway
marry that girl
yeah no matter what you say
marry that girl
and we'll be a family
