La la la...
There has to come a time in everybody's life
when man feels the need to take himself a wife
He has to stand and face his future father in law
And he feels very nervous 'cause he's never done it before.
(Chorus:)
|: Papa Joe :|
Don't you know I love her so
So you must understand
that I'm asking for her hand
You may ask what I've got
If I'd say, it's not a lot,
would you still let her go?
Please say yes, papa Joe!
I'm not a wealthy man, but I can give her love
That is the only thing that I've got plenty of
I'll make her sun shine bright and work as hard as I can
All I ask is your blessing, and I'll be a happier man.
Chorus (bis)
La la la...
