Every time a radio is playing, they're saying
"And next you will hear us play
Something with the publisher's okay"
Listening to this great announcer trilling
This thrilling new text, told me what to do
Try this very notion out on you...

I asked your Father, he said "Okay!"
I asked your Mother, she said "Hooray!"
By special permission of the copyright owner
I love you

I asked your Granpa, he said "Why not!"
I asked your Granma, she said "Get hot!"
By special permission of the copyright owner
I love you

Your good ol' Nurse thought you might do right
Your Butler thought so too
If they agree you're the one for me
Then, why on earth don't you

The Preacher's ready for the service
So, why the heck do you get so nervous
By special permission of the copyright owner
I love you
