[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 they'll do"
Just the other day I heard a neighbor talkin' bout
Some crazy little stuff that's going round

[Chorus]
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away, ay, ay
Mmh, yeah

[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'd 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, ay, ay
Ooh-whoa-oh
[Verse 3]
Whatever happened to all this season's
Losers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking
Where'd they disappear?
But then 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, ay, ay
Don't give yourself away
Ooh-whoa-oh

[Chorus]
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright
But don't give yourself away
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright
But don't give yourself away, ay, ay
Don't give yourself away, yeah, yeah
