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 a of soldier falling off
some Indonesian junk that's going around

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay

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 alright, Daddy's alright
they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay

Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Ev'ry time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling
got my Kiss records out

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay

Away
Away

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay
