Mother told me, yeah, 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 (right), Daddy's alright (right)

They just seem a little weird

Surrender, surrender

But don't give yourself away (hey)

Hey, (hey), hey

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 (right), Daddy's alright (right)

They just seem a little weird

Surrender, surrender

But don't give yourself away (hey)

Hey, (hey), hey

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 fuckin' on the couch

Rolling numbers, rock and rollin'

Got my Kiss records out

Mommy's alright (right), Daddy's alright (right)

They just seem a little weird

Surrender, surrender

But don't give yourself away (hey)

Hey, (hey), hey

Away, away

Mommy's alright (right), Daddy's alright (right)

But don't give yourself away (hey, hey, surrender)

Mommy's alright (right), Daddy's alright (right)

But don't give yourself away (hey, hey, surrender)

Mommy's alright (right), Daddy's alright (right)

But don't give yourself away (hey, hey, surrender)

Mommy's alright (right), Daddy's alright (right)

But don't give yourself away (hey, hey, surrender)

Hey, (hey), hey, away
