Saturday morning 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 his know that you're an old-fashioned man

He says "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 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 me or hate me boys will be boys standing at that altar
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 says "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, '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
No matter what you say
Marry that boy
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'll never get your blessing 'til 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 her anyway

Marry that boy
Marry him anyway
Marry that boy
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?
Why you gotta be so rude?
