(May) 


Get your party gown and get your pigtail down 

And get your heart beatin' baby 

Got my timin' right I got my act all tight 

It's gotta be tonight 

My little school babe 

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 nosin' around 

Tie your mother down 

Tie your mother down 

Give me all your love tonight 


'You're such a dirty louse go get outa 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 

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 

Snipin' and grousin' 


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 till I die 

I can't understand it 

'Cause I'm a peace lovin' guy 

Tie your mother down 

Tie your mother down 

Get that big big big big big big 

Daddy out the door 

Tie your mother down yeah 

Tie your mother down 

Give me all your love tonight 

All your love tonight
