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

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, Daddy's alright



They just seem a little weird



Surrender, surrender



But don't give yourself away

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 rolling



Got my Kiss records oout

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright



They just seem a little weird



Surrender, surrender



But don't give yourself away



Away..........
