Lyrics

Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll But when evening rolls around and it's time to hit the town Where do you go? You gotta rock it The old folks say that You gotta end your date by ten But if you're out on a date Don't you bring her home late 'cause it's a sin You know there's no excuse You should know you're gonna lose, you never win I'll say it again And it's all because Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll But when evening rolls around and it's time to hit the town Where do you go? You gotta rock it Ya I pulled into a drive-in and I found a place to park We hopped into the backseat where it's always nice and dark We're just about to move thinking "Bret, this is a breeze" There's a light in my eye and a guy says "Out of the car, long hair!" Oowee, you're coming with me Said the local police And it's all because Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll But when evening comes around and it's time to hit the town Where do you go? Play me a little C.C. Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll You just ain't cool, and you ain't about to sulk Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock Your mama don't dance, no She just don't dance, no Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll Ah, yeah
