Lyrics

[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
Of a soldier's falling off
Some Indonesian junk
That's goin' 'round
[Chorus]
Mommy's alright
Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Hey, hey
[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 had 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
Hey, hey
[Verse 3]
Whatever happened to all this season's
Losers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking
When'd they disappear?
Then I woke up, Mom and Dad
Are rollin' on the couch
Rollin' numbers, rock and rollin'
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
Hey, hey
[Refrain]
Away
Away
[Outro]
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 (Bun E's alright)
Surrender (Tommy's alright)
But don't give yourself away (Robin's alright, Rick's alright)
Surrender (We're all alright)
Surrender (We're all alright)
But don't give yourself away (We're all alright, we're all alright)
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
