Saturday morning, jumped out of bed
And put on my best suit
Got in my car and raced like a jack
All the way to New York
Knocked on your door with hot in my head
To ask you a question
Cause I know that you're an old-fashioned man
Yeah
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes, cause I need to know
You say I never get your blessing till the day I die
It's hard to lie, 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
Marry that girl

Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
You know me no matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude?
I hate to do this
You leave not choice
Can't live without her
Love me or hate me
We will be boys
Standing at the door
And also
Oh, we will run away
To another girl who said you'd 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 never get your blessing till the day I die
It's hard to lie, 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
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
You know me no matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude?
Rude
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes, cause I need to know
You say I never get your blessing till the day
I'd die to talk to luck, my friend
But no still means 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, marry her anyway
Marry that girl, you know me to what you say
Marry that girl and we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude?
Why you gotta be so rude?
Why you gotta be so rude?
