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

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" (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) Yeah, no matter what you say
(Marry that girl) And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so, ru-u-ude?

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 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 blessings 'till the day I die"
"Tough luck, My Friend, 'cause the answer's still no" (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) No matter what you say
(Marry that girl) And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so, ru-u-ude? Ru-u-ude?

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 no still means no" (No)

Why you gotta be so rude? (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) No matter what you say
(Marry that girl) And we'll be a family

Why you gotta be so, ru-u-ude? (Yeah-Eh, Oh-Oh)
Why you gotta be so, ru-u-ude? (Yeah-Eh-Eh)
Why you gotta be so rude?
