|
Darling will you marry me? |
|
Oh yes my love, I will |
|
Been going with this girl for a year or two |
|
Family they don't want me to |
|
It's their family way |
|
They think that I am lazy |
|
And they tell her that she's crazy |
|
Family way |
|
They went to the judge to forbid us to get wed |
|
And now on the whole, I'd say there's trouble ahead |
|
She's in the family way |
|
I know I love your daughter, sir |
|
Family way |
|
They believe in long engagements |
|
Time to make arrangements |
|
Family way |
|
All we want is a life of our own |
|
But we'll never get it now, not the way she has grown |
|
She's in the family way |
|
Doctor, doctor, are you absolutely sure? |
|
When you tell us there's under eight months more |
|
Before the stork comes knocking at the door |
|
Soon it's gonna be too late |
|
They'll notice that she's put on weight |
|
In the family way |
|
Then they'll put her on a diet |
|
When all she needs is peace and quiet |
|
Family way |
|
All we want is a life of our own |
|
But we'll never get it now, not the way she has grown |
|
She's in the family way |
|
Sir, I think your daughter and I should be married |
|
Soon, very, very soon! |
