_ _ _ _ _ _ Good afternoon.
Good afternoon, Reptavian.
_ I have some bad news.
I _ must leave here.
_ When?
_ Today morning. _
_ I'm sorry to hear that, Perchick.
_ We'll all miss you.
But I also have some good
news.
_ Good.
You can congratulate me. _
Congratulations?
What for?
We are engaged. _ _ _
_ Engaged?
Yes, Papa.
We're engaged.
No, you're not.
I know you like him and he likes you, but you're going
away and you're staying here.
So have a nice trip, Perchick, and I hope you'll be very
happy and my answer is no.
Please, Papa, you don't understand.
I understand.
I understand.
I gave my permission to Mottland's Idol, so you feel you also have a right. _ _
I'm sorry,
Perchick, I like you, _ _ but you're going away, so go in good health and my answer is still
no.
You don't understand, Papa.
And you are not listening.
I said no. _
Reptavian, we are
not asking for your permission, only for your blessing. _ _ _ _
We are going to get married. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ You
are not asking for my permission? _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ But we would like your blessing, Papa.
_ [Ab] _ _ _
I'm sorry, Perchick,
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
but I can't believe my own ears.
My blessing?
For what?
For going [Db] over my head.
_ Impossible. _ _
[Gb] At least with Zytl and Mottle, they asked me, they begged me, [B] but now if I like it or
not, you'll marry him.
_ _ [E] What do you want from me?
Go on, be wed.
[Bb] And tear out my beard and
uncover my _
[Eb] hair.
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Tradition.
_ They're not even asking permission from the Papa.
[B] _ _ [Bb] _
[D] What's happening
to the tradition?
One little time I pulled out a thread and where [G] has it led?
Where has
it led?
Where has it led to this?
A man tells me he's getting married.
He doesn't ask me,
he tells me.
But first he abandons you.
He's not abandoning me, Papa.
As soon as I can,
I will send for her and marry her. _ _ _ _
I love her.
[Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Love? _
It's a new style.
_ _ _ On the other
hand, _ our old ways were [Abm] once new, weren't they?
_ _ On the other hand, they decided without
[Eb] parents, without a matchmaker. _ _ _
On the other hand, did Adam and Eve have a matchmaker?
_ _ _ _ [E] _ Yes, [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ they did.
_ And it seems these two have the same matchmaker. _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
They're going over my
head. _
Unheard of.
_ _ Absurd.
For [Db] this they want to be blessed.
_ _ Unthinkable.
_ _ _ I'll lock her
up in [Gb] her room.
I couldn't.
I should.
But [B] look at my daughter's eyes.
_ _ She loves you. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Tradition. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Well, children, I've decided to give you my blessing and my permission. _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ Thank
you, Papa.
_ _ _ _ What else could I do?
_ Thank you, Papa.
Thank you, Papa.
_ Thank you, Papa. _ _ _ _
What
am I going to tell your mother? _
Another dream? _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Perhaps if you tell her that I'm going to
visit a rich uncle. _ _
Perchick, _ please.
I can handle my own wife.
_ Golder! _ _ _
Golder!
_ _ _ Gold_ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
