When you grow up
Livin' like a good boy oughta
And your mama
Takes a shine to her best son
Something different
All the girls they seem to
like you
'Cause you're handsome
Like to talk
And a whole lot of fun
But now your girl has
gone a-missin'
And your house has got an
empty bed
The folks'll wonder
'bout the wedding
They won't listen to a
word you said
We're gonna take your mama
out all night
Yeah we'll show her what it's
all about
We'll get her jacked up on
some cheap champagne
We'll let the good times
all roll out
And if the music ain't good
Well it's just too bad
We're gonna sing along
No matter what
Because the dancers don't
mind at the New Orleans
If you tip 'em
And they make a cut
Do it
Take your mama out all night
So she'll have no doubt that
we're doin' oh the best we can
Gonna do it
Take your mama out all night
You can stay up late 'cause
baby you're a full grown man
It's a struggle
Livin' like a good boy oughta
In the summer
Watchin' all the girls pass by
When your mama
Heard the way that you'd
been talkin'
I tried to tell you
That all she'd wanna do is cry
Now we end up takin' the
long way home
Lookin' overdressed wearin'
buckets of stale cologne
It's so hard to see streets
on a country road
When your glass is in
the garbage
And your Continental's
just been towed
We're gonna take your mama
out all night
Yeah we'll show her what it's
all about
We'll get her jacked up on
some cheap champagne
We'll let the good times
all roll out
And if the music ain't good
Well it's just too bad
We're gonna sing along
No matter what
Because the dancers don't
mind at the New Orleans
If you tip 'em
And they make a cut
Do it
Take your mama out all night
So she'll have no doubt that
we're doin' oh the best we can
Gonna do it
Take your mama out all night
You can stay up late 'cause
baby you're a full grown man
Do it
Take your mama out all night
So she'll have no doubt that
we're doin' oh the best we can
Gonna do it
Take your mama out all night
You can stay up late 'cause
baby you're a full grown man
