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 all right

daddy's all right

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 in 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 all right

daddy's all right

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 where'd they disappear

then i woke up

mom and dad are rolling on the couch

rolling numbers

rock and rolling

got my kiss records out

mommy's all right

daddy's all right

they just seem a little weird

surrender

surrender

but don't give yourself away

surrender

surrender

but don't give yourself away

surrender

surrender

but don't give yourself away
