Get your party gown 
Get your pigtail down 
Get your heart beatin' baby 
Got my timin' right 
Got my act all tight 
It's gotta be tonight my little 
Schoolbabe 

Your momma says you don't 
And your Daddy says you won't 
And I'm boilin' up inside 
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time 

Tie your Mother down 
Tie your Mother down 
Lock your Daddy out of doors 
I don't need him nosing around 
Tie your Mother down 
Tie your Mother down 
Give me all your love tonight 

You're such a dirty louse 
Go get outta my house 
That's all I ever get from your 
Family ties, in fact I don't think I ever heard 
A single little civil word 
from those guys 
But you know I don't give a light 
I'm gonna make out all right 
I've got a sweetheart hand 
To put a stop to all that 
Grousin' an' snipin' 

Tie your Mother down 
Tie your Mother down 
Take your little brother swimmin' 
With a brick (that's all right) 
Tie your Mother down, 
Tie your Mother down 
Or you ain't no friend of mine 

Your momma and your Daddy gonna 
Plague me til I die 
Why can't they understand I'm just a 
Peace lovin' guy 
Tie your Mother down 
Tie your Mother down.
