Get your party gown and get your pigtail down
And get your heart beatin' baby
Got my timin' right I got my act all tight

It's gotta be tonight
My little school babe
Your momma says you don't

And your daddy says you won't
And I'm boilin' up inside
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time


Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down

Lock your daddy out of doors
I don't need him nosin' around
Tie your mother down

Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight


You're such a dirty louse go get outta my house'
That's all I ever get from your family ties
In fact I don't think I ever heard

A single little civil word from those guys
I don't give a light
I'm gonna make out all right

I've got a sweetheart hand
To put a stop to all that
Snipin' and grousin'


Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down

Take your little brother swimmin'
With a brick that's all right
Tie your mother down

Tie your mother down
Or you ain't no friend of mine


Your momma and your daddy
Gonna plague me till I die
I can't understand it

'Cause I'm a peace lovin' guy
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down

Get that big big big big big big
Daddy out the door
Tie your mother down yeah

Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight
All your love tonight
