He turns on the television one day and he sees the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana and decides he wants that - he likes that... he decides weddings are beautiful and good and noble and something he wants, he gives up on the home town and leaves to start a life, find a wife...

lyrics

***He turns on the television one day and he sees the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana and decides he wants that - he likes that... he decides weddings are beautiful and good and noble and something he wants, he gives up on the home town and leaves to start a life, find a wife...

I saw the wedding
Charles and Diana
I want that
I wanted that
But who will I know
Who has a father to giver her away...
Who will pay for such an affair
Wait ...how can I have that ever after
When my parents, grandparents and aunt are all divorced?
I don't know how to be a husband
but I've seen my friends parents...like Ozzie and Harriet
So cool...
I don't know anyone who could be my bride
I have to get out there and find her...
Who will be my girl? Out in the world?

That's why I left to conquer the world
That's why I left to conquer the world
That's why I left to conquer the world
That's why I left to conquer the world
