Surrender

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

They just seem a little weird

Surrender, surrender

But don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay!

[Verse 2]

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 heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war

But Mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years

[Chorus]

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

They just seem a little weird

Surrender, surrender

But don't give yourself away

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

They just seem a little weird

Surrender, surrender

But don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay!

[Bridge]

Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?

Every time I got to thinking, "Where'd they disappear?"

When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch

Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out

[Chorus]

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

They just seem a little weird

Surrender, surrender

But don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay!

Away, away, yeah

[Outro]

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

They just seem a little weird

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

They just seem a little weird

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

They just seem a little weird

Surrender, surrender

But don't give yourself away, ay, ay!
