I'm telling you Mr Porter
You can lock up your daughter
You can even send her away
'Cos I'm tired of waiting
And that's why I'm stating
I'm gonna marry her one day

It's time that you realised the truth
You can't fight the modern youth
I would like to be your friend
'Cos I'm gonna get your daughter in the end

Well will you sign Mr Porter
Will you get me your daughter
You just have to tell me okay
'Cos I'm tired of fishing
I want your permission
For us to get married right away

I wish that you would understand
I just want your daughters hand
I just want to call you dad
But whatever I do you always get so mad

I'm telling you Mr Porter
You can lock up your daughter
You can even send her away
'Cos I'm tired of waiting
And that's why I'm stating
I'm gonna marry her one day

It's time that you realised the truth
You can't fight the modern youth
I would like to be your friend
'Cos I'm gonna get your daughter in the end

Well do you sign Mr Porter
Will you get me your daughter
You just have to tell me okay
'Cos I'm tired of fishing
I want your permission
For us to get married right away

For us to get married right away
For us to get married right away
