There’s an old song with the same punchline as this, but this one is a case of parallel evolution.  It can be sung by a trio — son, father and mother — or by one singer doing the three voices in the manner of Cat Stephens and his Father And Son.

Son sings:
“Oh Father, may I marry?
Oh Father, hear my plea!
I’ve met a lovely lady and she’s just the girl for me!
Oh, Father hear my pleading,
Oh, Father soothe my sighs…”
But all his prayers are gone for naught, for thus his Dad replies:

Father sings:
“My son, I’ve been a rover since I was barely grown,
And many a lady’s wall I’ve climbed when the lady was alone.
That fair young maid you pine for, I cannot soothe your sighs:
As fair as fair indeed she is, for she has your Father’s eyes!”

Son sings:
“Oh Father, may I marry?
Oh Father, hear my plea!
I’ve met a second lady and she’s just the girl for me!
Oh, Father hear my pleading,
Oh, Father calm my fears…”
But all his prayers are gone for naught, for this is what he hears:

Father sings:
“My son, I’ve been a rover since I was barely grown,
And many a lady’s wall I’ve climbed when the lady was alone.
That fair young maid you pine for, I cannot calm your fears:
As fair as fair indeed she is, for she has your Father’s ears!”

Son sings:
“Oh Father, may I marry?
Oh Father, hear my plea!
I’ve met a third young lady and she’s just the girl for me!
Oh, Father hear my pleading,
Oh, Father ease my woes…”
But all his prayers are gone for naught, for this is how it goes:

Father sings:
“My son, I’ve been a rover since I was barely grown,
And many a lady’s wall I’ve climbed when the lady was alone.
That fair young maid you pine for, I cannot ease your woes:
As fair as fair indeed she is, for she has your Father’s nose!”

Son sings:
“Oh Mother, I’m despondent!
I’m wrecked, to say the least!
I think I’ll quit the worldly life and train to be a priest!
It seems that I’m related
To every girl in town…”
But here his Mother gave a smile and sang away his frown:

Mother sings:
“My son, I’ve been a rover since I was barely grown,
And many a young man’s wall I’ve climbed when the young man was alone.
Those fair young maids you pine for, go marry one with no shame,
For all you have of your Father dear is nothing but his name!”
