mother told me
|
yes she told me
|
i'd meet girls like you
|
she also told me
|
stay away
|
you’ll never know what you'll catch
|
just the other day i heard of a soldier's falling off
|
some indonesian junk that's going 'round
|
mommy's all right
|
daddy’s all right
|
they just seem a little weird
|
surrender
|
surrender
|
but don't give yourself away
|
father says "your mother's right
|
she’s really up on things"
|
before we married
|
mommy served in the WACs in the philippines
|
now i had heard the WACs
|
recruited old maids for the war
|
but mommy isn't one of those
|
i've known her all these years
|
mommy's all right
|
daddy’s all right
|
they just seem a little weird
|
surrender
|
surrender
|
but don't give yourself away
|
whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year
|
every time i got to thinking where'd they disappear
|
then i woke up
|
mom and dad are rolling on the couch
|
rolling numbers
|
rock and rolling
|
got my kiss records out
|
mommy's all right
|
daddy’s all right
|
they just seem a little weird
|
surrender
|
surrender
|
but don't give yourself away
|
surrender
|
surrender
|
but don't give yourself away
|
surrender
|
surrender
|
but don't give yourself away
|
