No more cussin', lyin', no more parties no more flirtin',
Going off to serve the Lord beyond the "Zion Curtain"
Yes, I'm afraid of what's to come as I travel cross the sea,
But what scares me most is that you might not wait for me.
Chorus
Oh, oh, oh, What's it gonna be girl?
Oh, oh, oh, It's me against the world
With every fiber of my being I'll be true to thee
As I magnify our love as a missionary
I'll come back a Bible scholar baby wait and see
So put a blind fold on for two years honey... And wait for me.
I'll think of you as I convert the heathen and the sinner
And the tapeworms in Brazil will bring me home to you much thinner
We're too young to tie the knot, though my love weighs a ton
Once I'm home, we'll be much wiser at a full-grown twenty-one.
Chorus
If you'd swear to not wear make-up and to wear these hooded veils
And don't go out in public or converse with any males
Our love can be a**ured to stay alive and keep on track
Just put your life on pause, we can fast forward when I get back-ack-ack-ack
Oh, oh oh What's it gonna be girl?
Oh, oh , oh It's me against the world
Oh, oh oh What's it gonna be girl?
Oh, oh , oh Don't be a naughty girl.
Oh, oh oh What's it gonna be girl?
Oh, oh , oh Don't make me have to hurl.
Oh, oh oh What's it gonna be girl?
Oh, oh , oh Don't date my best friend Merle.
