I wanna thank your folks
For making you as sweet as you are
How else can I express how I feel,
Confess and reveal my love?

I wanna thank your folks
For making you the dream that you are
An' tell them what a swell job they've done
Of raisin' the one that I love!

Do you recall that birthday party they gave you,
When we were just a couple of kids?
Well, suppose they hadn't thought of inviting me too,
See what I'd have missed?

And here's my thanks to you,
For making all my love dreams come true
But darling to be perfectly frank,
I really must thank your folks!
