Solved: Walter

My daughter is dating this guy named Walter. I heard a song on the radio that had lyrics someting like 'You'll have to marry Walter" but I can't remember much of it. I think it was on a country station, but it may not have been. Can you guys help me find this song to tease my daughter with?

Could it be Walter Carlos by Momus? It's not country though. Some of the lyrics - found on the web:
Walter Carlos no longer exists / He's in Elysium
But let us imagine him in our space-time continuum.

Walter Carlos!
International transsexual composer of that glorious epoch,
The high analogue synthesizer / Baroque!

He is now to be / Known as Wendy
Had a gender operation done
Just after making Switched on Bach, Volume 1

And when travelling through time is possible,
Wendy can enter a wormhole and go back to the future to marry Walter
A few baroque summers earlier
A couple of models of Moog back in time

WALTER

I know I wasn’t always good to you,
And one time I had some trouble when it came to bein’ true
But if you’re gone for good,
Don’t you think you could do better than Walter?

I’m sure that Walter is a stand-up guy,
He may never make you laugh,
But he’ll never make you cry.
But can you really see yourself turnin’ out just like Walter?

What is Walter gonna say when he finds out about the way
You used to run, wild and free, when you were still in love with me?
When he stumbles on photographs, the ones of us that you still have.
He sees you’re not the kind of girl that fits into his perfect world.
So, before you meet him at the alter,
Remember you’re gonna hafta say “I do” to Walter

I bet he never had his nose broke in a barroom fight
Or got cussed by a country judge because of one crazy night.
But can you really see yourself turnin’ out the lights
And turnin’ to Walter?


What is Walter gonna say when he finds out about the way
You used to run, wild and free, when you were still in love with me?
When he stumbles on photographs, the ones of us that you still have.
He sees you’re not the kind of girl that fits into his perfect world.
So, before you meet him at the alter,
Remember you’re gonna hafta say “I do” to Walter


What is Walter gonna say when he finds out about the way
You used to run, wild and free, when you were still in love with me?
When he stumbles on photographs, the ones of us that you still have.
He sees you’re not the kind of girl that fits into his perfect world.
So, before you meet him at the alter,
Remember you’re gonna hafta say “I do” to Walter

Thank you Dan, that's the one I was looking for. Nothing beats teasing one's 16 year old daughter.
