Clyde 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 Don't you think the choice should be made by her? 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!
