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"
Well just the other day I heard of a soldier's 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
Ay
Ay ay ay

Father says yeah
"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 alright, daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Ay
Ay ay ay

Whatever happened to all this season's
Losers of the year?
Everytime 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 alright, daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Ay
Ay ay ay
Away...
Away...
Surrender (mommy's alright)
Surrender (daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away

Surrender (mommy's alright)
Surrender (daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away

Surrender (mommy's alright)
Surrender (daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away

Surrender (mommy's alright)
Surrender (daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away

Surrender (mommy's alright)
Surrender (daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away

Surrender (mommy's alright)
Surrender (daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away

Surrender (mommy's alright)
Surrender (daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away
