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 alright, Daddy's alright
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
On 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


Whatever happened to all this season's
Losers of the year

Every time I got to thinking
Then they disappear
When I woke up, Mom and Dad

Were $#&@in' on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling
Got my Kiss records oout


Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird

Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
Away..........
