Woke up this 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 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 blessing 'til the day I die Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is 'No' Why you gotta be so rude? Don't you know I'm human too? Why you gotta be so rude? I'm gonna marry her anyway Marry that girl I'll marry her anyway Marry that girl No matter what you say Marry that girl We'll be a family I hate to do this, you leave no choice (Sha-la-la-la-la) Can't live without her Love me or hate me we will be bald Standing at that altar Or we will run 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 blessing 'til the day I die Tough luck, my friend, the answer's No" Why you gotta be so rude? Don't you know I'm human too? Why you gotta be so rude? I'm gonna marry her anyway Marry that girl I'll marry her anyway Marry that girl No matter what you say Marry that girl We'll be a family Why you gotta be so Rude Say only why? 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 blessing 'til the day I die Tough luck, my friend, 'No' still means 'No'!
