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
