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

Get your fanny out the door


I don't need him nosin' around


Tie your mother down

Tie your mother down


Give me all your love tonight




'Go get outa my house you're such a dirty louse'


That's all I ever get from you


They cut me down to size

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

Screamin' and fussin'









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

You ain't no friend of mine




Your momma and your daddy

Gonna plague me till I die


I can't understand it

I'm a peaceful guy

Tie your mother down


Tie your mother down

Get that big big big big big big


Fanny out the door

Tie your mother down yeah

Tie your mother down


Give me all your love tonight

All your love tonight
