Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you

She also told me, stay away

You never know what you'll catch

Just the other day I heard a soldier's falling heart

An Indonesian joke that's going 'round

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

Just sail it away

Surrender, surrender

Don't give yourself away

Yeah, yeah

Father said, "Your mommy's right

She's really up on things

Before we met, your mommy served the WACS

In the Philippines"

Now I heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war

Mommy isn't one of them

I've known her all these years

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

Just sail it away

Surrender, surrender

Don't give yourself away

Hey, yeah

Whatever happened to all the seasons and losers of the year?

Every time I got to thinking where they disappeared

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

Rolling, rocking, rocking, rolling, got the KISS records out

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

Just sail it away

Surrender, surrender

Don't give yourself away

Hey, yeah

Don't give yourself away

Away

Surrender, surrender

(Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)

Don't give yourself away

(Sail it away)

Surrender, surrender

(Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)

Don't give yourself away

(Sail it away)

Surrender, surrender

(Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)

Don't give yourself away

(Sail it away)

Surrender, surrender

(Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)

Don't give yourself away

(Sail it away)

Hey, yeah
