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 hey hey hey
Father says
your mother's right
she's really up on things
Before we married
Mama 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
Mommy's alright
Daddy's alright
They just seem
a little weird
surrender, surrender
but don't give
yourself away
hey hey hey
Whatever happened
to all the season's
losers of the year
Every time
I got to thinking
where'd they disappear
But then I woke up
Mom and Dad
are rolling
on the couch
Rolling numbers
rock and rolling they 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
hey away away
Surrender, surrender
but don't give
yourself away
Surrender, surrender
but don't give
yourself away
Surrender, surrender
but don't give
yourself away
Surrender, surrender
but don't give
yourself away
Surrender, surrender
but don't give
yourself away
Surrender, surrender
but don't give
yourself away
Surrender, surrender
but don't give
yourself away
