One Way or Another Orleans

You're the daughter of a neighbor
Of a good old friend of mine
Your mom's no Aphrodite
But girl, you're mighty fine
One thing's fairly obvious
You are not my brother
I'm gonna get you in my family one way or another

You're a sailor's dream, a dancin' queen
A credit to your nation
A sight to see, you're giving me
A growing realization
When you arabesque in that flimsy dress
I have to run for cover
I'm gonna get you in my family one way or another

Wicked awesome, I can't wait to be
Pickin' blossoms from the family tree

Oh, when you were a baby
There's a rumor goin' round
You appeared in your pajamas
Turnеd the day care upside down
And all thе little boys started screamin' for their mother
I'm gonna get you in my family one way or another
