Saturday morning jumped out of bed and put on his best suit.
He got in his car and raced like a jet, all the way to you.
Knocked on your door with heart in 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 blessing till 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 him anyway
Marry that boy
Marry him anyway
Marry that boy
Yeah no matter what you say
Marry that boy
And we'll be a family

Why you gotta be so rude?

I hate to do this, you leave no choice
Can't live without him.
Love him or hate him boys will be boys
Standing at that alter
Or we will run 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 blessing till the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, cause the answer's still 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 him anyway
Marry that boy
Marry him anyway
Marry that boy
Yeah no matter what you say
Marry that boy
And we'll be a family

Why you gotta be so rude?
Why you gotta be so rude?

"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 till the day I die
Tough 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 him anyway
Marry that boy
Marry him anyway
Marry that boy
Yeah no matter what you say
Marry that boy
And we'll be a family

Why you gotta be so rude?
Why you gotta be so rude?
