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, yeah (yeah)
 
  
  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 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 rude?
  
 
 I hate to do this, you leave no choice
 
 Can't live without her
 
 Love me or hate me, we will be both
 
 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 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 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 rude, rude?
 
 (Why you gotta be so—)
  
 
 Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?

 Tough luck, my friend, but no still means no
  
 
 Why you gotta be so rude?

 Why you gotta be so rude?
