[Verse 1]
Mother told me, yes, she told me
That I'd meet guys like you
She also told me, "Stay away
You'll never know what you'll catch”
Just the other day I heard
A soldier's falling off
Some Indonesian junk
Was 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
And then they’d disappear?
But when I woke up, Mom and Dad
Are rolling on the couch
Rolling 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
Away
Away
[Outro]
Surrender (Mommy's all right)
Surrender (Daddy's all right)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender (Mommy's all right)
Surrender (Daddy's all right)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender (Mommy's all right)
Surrender (Daddy's all right)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender (Mommy's all right)
Surrender (Daddy's all right)
But don't give yourself away
Mommy's alright
Daddy's alright
Kids are alright
They’re all alright
They’re all alright
They’re all alright
They’re all alright
They’re all alright
They’re all alright
They’re all alright
They’re all alright
They’re all alright
They’re all alright
They’re all alright
They’re all alright
Mommy's alright
Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
