Oh, Mister Jones I'd like to speak to you for a moment,

If you don't mind

I love your daughter and I wanta make her mine

Mrs. Jones please be seated,

I know what's running through your mind

But I love your daughter and your daughter,

She wants to be mine.

I work in a shoe store on main street

And make about fifty dollars ev'ry week

But I'll work hard and get a raise

If you'll just let me have her for always

Mr. Jones don't get excited,

'Cause we've already made up our minds

I love your daughter and your daughter

She wants to be mine.

I'll treat her good and buy her things

Like lots of furs and diamond rings

I'll buy her a cottage, a car and a boat

If you'll be kind enough to go our note

Mister Jones, don't get mad

We'll get along, won't we dad?

'Cause I love your daughter and your daughter,

She wants to be mine.
