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 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

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

Mommy's alright
Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away-ay-ay-ay

Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Every time 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

(Surrender) mommy's alright (surrender), daddy's alright (surrender), but don't give yourself away
(Surrender) mommy's alright (surrender), daddy's alright (surrender), but don't give yourself away

(Surrender) mommy's alright (surrender), daddy's alright (surrender), but don't give yourself away
(Surrender) mommy's alright (surrender), daddy's alright (surrender), but don't give yourself away
