I met your people the other day,
hey, hey, hey
I went to your house while you were away
Well, now they're setting me down
on a free house tour
They say that you graduated
from a some fine school
Yeah, that you could dance and sing,
and love everything.
Boy, you're gonna make a fortune, love.
They made me feel just like the king,
king, king.
And they laughed at my
jokes and everything.
Well, now they told me
you would be so, so true
She don't like nobody else but you
I said she cooks and sews,
she washes all your clothes
We're gonna make a fashion law
Oh, it's me, the way it all appears
You would think
that we have been engaged for years
You better tell your people
that we just met
And that I ain't ready to
settle down just yet
Well, I ain't got no job,
I'm as broke as I can be
Yeah, you better tell your old man
to stop a -suitin' on me
Well, even in my dreams I
can hear him scream
Boy, you're gonna make a fine son
-in -law
You better tell your people
that we just met
Oh, yeah, now
And then I ain't ready to
settle down just yet
Well, I ain't got no job
I'm as broke as I can be
Yeah
You better tell your old man
to stop thinking of me
Yeah, whoa, yeah
Well, even in my dreams I
can hear him scream
Boy, you're gonna
make a fine son -in -law
Well, even in my dreams I
can hear him scream
Boy, you're gonna make
a fine son -in -law
Well, even in my dreams
I can hear him scream
