Story Behind The Song
I have a17 year old daughter with a boy friend and it made me think about what I might say to my future son-in-law on their wedding day.
Song Description
I think if Meet The Parents were ever made into a musical this would be perfect for the Robert DeNiro character.

Lyrics
TODAY YOU BEGIN YOUR NEW LIFE
AS HUSBAND AND WIFE,
MY HEAD'S IN A WHIRL
YOU'VE WON MY LITTLE GIRL
IT SEEMS WE'RE DONE HERE AND YET,
HERE'S A LITTLE SOMETHING
I PRAY YOU DON'T FORGET:
IF YOU BREAK MY DAUGHTER'S HEART
I'LL KILL YOU,
GET IT STRAIGHT RIGHT FROM THE START
BECAUSE I KNOW
IF YOU BREAK MY DAUGHTER'S HEART
I'LL KILL YOU
AND I SWEAR IT WILL BE PAINFUL AND SLOW.
YOU MAY FIND SOME LITTLE SKANK
TO THRILL YOU,
BUT IT'S HER TO THANK THE DAY I TRACK YOU DOWN,
'CAUSE I WILL NEVER REST UNTIL YOU
ARE ROOM TEMPERATURE
YOU STUPID CLOWN
BUT WEDDINGS AREN'T JUST FOR THREATS,
LET'S ACKNOWLEDGE THIS NEW BEGINNING,
BUT PAL YOU'VE PLAYED YOUR LAST INNING,
IF YOU DON'T TAKE MY ADVICE,
YOU'RE ROLLIN' THE DICE,
YOU WON'T FORGET A WORD I SAY,
NOW WILL YOU?
OR THERE'S A PRICE TO PAY,
I HOPE WE'RE CLEAR,
IF YOU BREAK MY DAUGHTER'S HEART I'LL KILL YOU,
SO KEEP YOUR NOSE CLEAN,
YOU SILLY LAD,
IT BETTER BE FOR BETTER NOT WORSE,
OR I'LL SEE YOU IN A HEARSE,
AND NOW YOU CAN CALL ME 'DAD',
(Spoken)
Welcome to the family!!
