[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh...

[Verse 1]
Mum and Dad, I met a girl
And she's got great teeth and she's marrying me
And she's a great cook
And she's about to finish writing her fifth book

Mum and dad, she paints as well
She wrote her own theory of relativity
It's better than Einstein's
Oh, and she's all mine

[Verse 2]
Mum and dad, I love her more
Than I've ever loved anything
And you should hear her sing, she's got a record deal
And if she leaves me, I won't heal

Mum and dad, she found a way
Of putting an end to global warming
During our breakfast just this morning, she's getting a Nobel Prize
She's the best damn woman alive

[Chorus]
And she doesn't mind the ooh, ooh, ooh
She doesn't mind the...
She doesn't mind the ooh, ooh, ooh
She doesn't mind the...

She says she doesn't mind the ooh, ooh, ooh
She doesn't mind the...
She doesn't mind the ooh, ooh, ooh
She doesn't mind the...

[Verse 3]
Mum and dad, I met a girl
She says she's gunna be my wife and complete my life
She's got a science degree
We fell in love at university

Mum and dad, this one's got brains
And she's so damn smart, knows Shakespeare off by heart
Her dad's a doctor
So glad I got her

[Verse 4]
Mum and dad, she's an active member of Greenpeace
She's from an educated home and she plays the trombone
Makes my heart tingle
And she's trilingual

Mum and dad, she's curing cancer
And you can meet next week
She's coming down to make a speech on stem cells
I think the wedding is gunna go well

[Chorus]
She doesn't mind the ooh, ooh, ooh
She doesn't mind the...
She doesn't mind the ooh, ooh, ooh
She doesn't mind the...

She says she doesn't mind the ooh, ooh, ooh
She doesn't mind the...
She doesn't mind the ooh, ooh, ooh
She doesn't mind the...

[Outro
And she doesn't mind the ooh, ooh, ooh
No, she doesn't mind the...
She says she doesn't mind the ooh, ooh, ooh
No, she doesn't mind...

In fact, she kinda prefers the ooh, ooh, ooh
No, she doesn't mind the...
She says she really likes the ooh (oh-oh), ooh (oh-oh), ooh (oh-oh)

And she doesn't mind the ooh, ooh, ooh
No, she doesn't mind the...
She says she doesn't mind (ooh, ooh, ooh)
No, she doesn't mind...

She says she doesn't mind the ooh, ooh, ooh
No, she doesn't mind the the...
She says she doesn't mind the ooh (ooh), ooh (ooh), ooh (ooh)
No, she doesn't mind...

Critic, journalist, sometime musician, onetime actor, and full-time Midwesterner Mark Deming provides a discographic-based biography for Cosmo Jarvis:

“Singer, songwriter, and filmmaker Cosmo Jarvis has earned a devoted following for his witty, often satiric tunes about the foibles of relationships and contemporary life, often rooted in personal experience, as well as his own self-produced videos and short subjects that have given his work a global online audience. Harrison Cosmo Krikoryan Jarvis was born on September 1, 1989 in Ridgewood, New Jersey. Jarvis' family relocated to the United Kingdom when he was young, and he grew up in Devon in Southwest England. Jarvis began writing songs when he was only 12 years old, around the same time he began making short films using a VHS video camera. While Jarvis' early videos were little more than documentation of pranks played with his friends, with time he began constructing more complex narratives, and similarly his songs began to evolve, ranging from folk-inspired acoustic guitar pieces and elaborate pop tunes to tongue-in-cheek hip-hop tracks.

At the age of 16, Jarvis quit school to focus on his creative work, and in 2009 he wrote and produced his debut album, an 18-song set called Humasyouhitch/Sonofabitch, which was released by the British indie label Wall of Sound. The album combined Jarvis' observational tunes with a cycle of songs reflecting the emotional turmoil of his parents' stormy relationship. Humasyouhitch/Sonofabitch received enthusiastic notices from the British music press, but it didn’t sell especially well, and Jarvis teamed with 25th Frame for his second release, Is the World Strange or Am I Strange? A track from the album, “Gay Pirates,” became an Internet sensation after Jarvis' low-budget video for the song was endorsed in a Twitter post by actor and author Stephen Fry, and subsequent airplay helped make the second album a commercial success. While continuing to tour, write songs, and record music, Jarvis has also been writing and directing a feature film, provisionally titled The Naughty Room. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi"
