[Verse 1]
Mother told me, yes she told me
I'd meet girls like you
She also told me: stay away
You don't know what you'll catch
Just the other day I heard
Of a soldier's falling off
Some Indonesian junk
That's going 'round
[Chorus]
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little...
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away

[Verse 2]
Father says your mother's right
She's really up on things
Before we married she served
With the WACs in the Philippines
Well I had heard the WACs recruited
Old maids for the war
But Mothеr isn't one of those
I've known hеr all these years
[Chorus]
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little...
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
X2
[Verse 3]
Whatever happened to last season's
Losers of the year
Every time I got to thinking
Where'd they disappear
Then I woke up, Mom and Dad
Were 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...
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
X2
Away
Away
Away
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little...
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
X2
Away
Away
Away
