Mother told me, yeah, she told me

That I'd meet girls like you

She also told me, "Stay away

You'll not know what you'll catch"

Just the other day I heard

Of a soldier's falling off

Some Indonesian junk

That's going round

Well

Mommy's alright, daddy's alright

They just seem a little weird

Surrender, surrender

But don't give yourself away

Hey, hey!

Father

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 that WACs were dykes, old maids either that or whores

But mommy's neither 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

Hey, hey!

Whatever happened to all this season's

Murderer of the year?

Every time I got to thinking

Here'd they disappear?

But when I woke up, Mom and Dad

Are rolling on the couch

Rolling numbers, rock and rollin'

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

Hey, hey!

Away

Away

Surrender

Surrender

But don't give yourself away

Surrender

Surrender

But don't give yourself away

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

Surrender but don't give yourself away

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

Surrender Surrender

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

But don't give yourself away

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

Surrender

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

Surrender Surrender

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

Ned's alright

Tommy's alright

Johnny's alright

Gary's alright

Ricky's alright

We're alright

We're all alright

Alright tonight

Oh Konnichiwa

I love you baby

Lick your tits all night long
