Meaning

Easy, this guy says: I'm gonna be with you forever. But very close to you. Actually, I'll never be more than 1 metre away from you, so get used to it. Everything I'm gonna do in the future I'm gonna do with you, because you will always be less than 1 metre away, so get used to it. So when I go to work to earn all my pennies for you (pardon, most of my pennies for you) you will have to come with me too, because you can't be more than 1 metre away from me, so get used to it. What I'm really trying to say, obviously, is... will you be my secretary? Say yes, pleeeease, and get used to it.

I’M GONNA BE= I’m going to be.

GOES ALONG WITH YOU= Goes together with you.

IF I GET DRUNK= If I drink too much alcohol.

HAVER = What the hell is this? No idea, it’s not an English word, is it? Well, whatever this is, he’s going to do it with her too.

DA DA DA DUN DIDDLE UN DIDDLE UN DIDDLE UH DA= This is code language, it means that he is too drunk to sing properly and his tongue is too big now to pronounce good English, so he’s talking nonsense, “but I want to talk nonsense with you”, said he.
