Lyrics

1. I was crazy over Daisy, she’s a girl I knew
   She went crazy, too, like all sweethearts do
   I proposed to her last night
   And she said “Ask my Pop”
   But my proposal must have been an awful flop

Refrain:
I popped the question to her Pop
But I won’t pop no more
I should have stopped before I popped
‘Cause he got awful sore
The next thing I remember
I was flying thru the door
I popped the question to her Pop
And he popped me on the jaw

2. Little Daisy drove me crazy every time we kissed
   But her father’s fist soon made me desist
   Soon I met another girl
   And popped the question, too
   The same thing happened
   What a tough mill I’ve been thru

Refrain:
I popped the question to her Pop
But I won’t pop no more
I said to him “My name is Jim
Your future son-in-law”
The church bells rang, the birdies sang
And then I hit the floor
I popped the question to her Pop
And he popped me on the jaw
