Oh, my Daddy, oh, my Daddy, when did this begin, how did it all unfold?
How did you woo Mother, tell me the tale of old?
Oh, let me tell you, this matter of the heart, how it played its part.
Oh, my Daddy, when did this begin, how did it all start?
How did you woo Mother, tell me the part you played, I implore.
Oh, let me tell you, this matter of the heart, forevermore.
Oh, my Daddy, when did this begin, how did it all start?

Say something, ask of the heart, don't keep silent in the dark.
Give a sign, a hint divine, not just a passing mark.
How did your meeting come to be, that fateful decree?
On that day, the rains poured down, within her gaze I was bound.
Oh, what a sly one you are found!
Oh, my Daddy, when did this begin, how did it all unfold?
How did you woo Mother, the tale to be told?
Oh, let me tell you, this matter of the heart, as it was controlled.
Oh, my Daddy, when did this begin, how did it all start?

We too were once young, awaken those tales that once were sung.
Why should I tell you all, am I a stranger, standing tall?
It was love at first sight, Daddy, please, please, hold tight.
I'll write this story down, for my own use, in every town.

How did the meeting take place, don't ask, I had to run the race.
A memory old and true, a picture show, we two.
What was the name of the film, beyond the brim?
"Zoru ka Ghulam," her name did claim.
Your mother became my wife, and I, her servant, for life.
