I was asked to the ball of the year So I dressed in my brand new tuxedo I have practiced my waltz and my tango And arrived on the scene with panache
As I walked through the door I beheld her With her ma and her pa by her side Like a knight taking love in his trite I advanced on her father and pleaded
Permit me please, monsieur With your daughter I would dance, sir Please let yes be your answer And give my own love a chance, sir
Permit me please, monsieur I'm an ordinary fellow Looking for his Cinderella Give me your permission, please sir
With a look that would cook frozen ice Her mama told papa to say no But a faint heart will not win a fair maiden So I thought I would have one more go
Permit me please, monsieur With your daughter I would dance, sir Please let yes be your answer And give my own love a chance, sir
Permit me please, monsieur I'm an ordinary fellow Looking for his Cinderella Give me your permission, please sir
Tell the truth, in your youth you were bold, sir When you won such a wonderful wife Maybe I'll be as lucky as you And dance with your daughter through life, sir
Permit me please, monsieur With your daughter I would dance, sir Please let yes be your answer And give my own love a chance, sir
Permit me please, monsieur I'm an ordinary fellow Looking for his Cinderella Give me your permission, please sir
