[Verse 1]

Mother told me, yes, she told me

That 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 recruited

Old maids for the war

But mommy isn't one of those

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 (2x)
