Get your party gown
Get your pigtail down
Get your heart beatin' baby
Got my timin' right I got my act all tight
It's gotta be tonight
My little schoolbabe
Your momma says you don't
And your daddy says you won't
And I'm boilin' up inside
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time

Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Lock your daddy out of doors
I don't need him nosin' around
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight

'You're such a dirty louse go get outta my house'
That's all I ever get from your family ties
In fact I don't think I ever heard
A single little civil word from those guys
But you now I don't give a light
I'm gonna make out all right
I've got a sweetheart hand
To put a stop to all that
Snipin' and grousin'

Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Take your little brother swimmin'
With a brick (that's all right)
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Or you ain't no friend of mine

Your momma and your daddy
Gonna plague me till I die
Why can't they understand
I'm just a peace lovin' guy
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Get that big big big big big big
Daddy out the door
Tie your mother down yeah
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight
All your love tonight
