Papa Said No
Reggae-pop song with a bouncy offbeat skank: an offbeat guitar, a punchy snare and a warm bass, with a high, pleading male tenor. Cheeky and earnest, sung in English, about asking a stern father for permission to marry his daughter and being told no.

Lyrics
I shined my shoes and bought a tieI rehearsed my lines a thousand timesI’m standing here on your front porchWith a heavy heart and a little torchYou look at me like I’m a jokeI’m starting to sweat, I think I might chokeSir, I’ve got a question, if I mayIt’s about the girl who makes my dayPlease let me marry herI’ll be the best you’ve ever seenPlease let me marry herShe’s my life, she’s my queenI’ve got a plan and a modest wageI’m ready to turn the final pagePlease let me marry herDon’t say no, don’t be meanYou folded your arms and cleared your throatYou’re looking at me like a sinking boatYou said I’m young and I’m way too loudAnd I’m just a face in a common crowdWell, I might not have a giant bankBut my love for her is a top-tier rankI’ll mow your lawn and I’ll wash your carI’ll even drive you to the local barPlease let me marry herI’ll be the best you’ve ever seenPlease let me marry herShe’s my life, she’s my queenI’ve got a plan and a modest wageI’m ready to turn the final pagePlease let me marry herDon’t say no, don’t be meanThe answer was short, the answer was "No"You pointed your finger and told me to goBut sir, you don’t get it, I’m here to stayI’ll ask you again every single dayI’m down on my knees, I’m losing my coolI know I look like a lovesick foolPlease let me marry herI’ll be the best you’ve ever seenPlease let me marry herShe’s my life, she’s my queenI’ve got a plan and a modest wageI’m ready to turn the final pagePlease let me marry herDon’t say no, don’t be mean
