History

When Homer, Bart and the people from the Brokewood Apartments watch the British movie, Love, Indubitably, Homer had an idea to make a grand romantic gesture for the forgiveness of his girls (specially Marge Simpson, the Homer's wife and Mary Spuckler, the Bart's girlfriend), so the girls were invited to a grand gesture, who is this song in the genre of classical music.

Lyrics

Homer:

I wrote this song to say I'm sorry

Bart:

Dad, don't be a credit hog

Homer:

The melody is by Beethoven

Bart:

Not bad for a movie dog

Garbage-eating husband:

I'll stop eating from the garbage

Homer:

Marge, you will get the last pork chop

Marge:

Oh... A completed chore list

Homer:

And I promise to do the things

I checked off, within a year

Bart:

Spuckler Mary, please forgive me

All I ask is one more chance
