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 a soldier 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, mother served in the WACS in the philippines.
now, i had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war
but mother 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 the season's losers of the year?
whenever i come to thinking about them, and where'd they disappear to?
i come home and mom and dad are rolling on the couch,
rolling numbers, rock and rolling, they got my Kiss records on.

mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away.
