lyrics

Late again today,
he'd be in trouble though he'd say he was sorry,
he'd have to hurry out to the bus

Horace was so sad,
he'd never had a girl that he could care for,
and if he was late once more, he'd be out. uh oh.

Don't be afraid, just knock on the door,
Well he just stood there mumblin and fumblin'
Then a voice from above said-
Horace wimp, this is your life,
Go out and find yourself a wife,
Make a stand and be a man,
And you will have a great life plan

Horace met a girl,
she was small and she was very pretty,
he thought he was in love, he was afraid

Asks her for a date,
the café dowm the street tomorrow evening,
his head was reeling, when she said Yes, O K

Don't be afraid, just knock on the door,
Well he just stood there mumblin' and fumblin'
Then a voice from above said-
Horace wimp, this is your life,
Go out and find yourself a wife,
Make a stand and be a man,
And you will have a great life plan

Horace, this is it,
he asks the girl if maybe they could marry,
when she says gladly, Horace cries. Boo hoo.

Everybody's at the church,
when Horace rushes in and says Now here comes my wife,
for the rest of my life, and she did

Don't be afraid, just knock on the door,
Well he just stood there mumblin and fumblin'
Then a voice from above said-
Horace wimp, this is your life,
Go out and find yourself a wife,
Make a stand and be a man,
And you will have a great life plan
