[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Mommy's alright

Daddy's alright

They just seem a little weird

Surrender

Surrender

But don't give yourself away

Hey, hey

[Verse 2]

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 rеcruited

Old maids for the war

But mommy isn't one of thosе

I've known her all these years

[Chorus]

Mommy's alright

Daddy's alright

They just seem a little weird

Surrender

Surrender

But don't give yourself away

Hey, hey

[Verse 3]

Whatever happened to all this season's

Losers of the year?

Every time I got to thinking

Where'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

[Chorus]

Mommy's alright

Daddy's alright

They just seem a little weird

Surrender

Surrender

But don't give yourself away

Hey, hey

Away

Away

[Outro]

Surrender (Mommy's all right)

Surrender (Daddy's all right)

But don't give yourself away

Surrender (Mommy's all right)

Surrender (Daddy's all right)

But don't give yourself away

Surrender (Mommy's all right)

Surrender (Daddy's all right)

But don't give yourself away

Surrender (Bun E.’s alright)

Surrender (Tommy’s alright)

But don't give yourself away

Surrender (Mommy's all right)

Surrender (Daddy's all right)

But don't give yourself away

Surrender
