[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 you'll catch"
Just the other day, I heard a soldier falling off
Some Indonesian junk 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, ay!

[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 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
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay!
[Bridge]
Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking, "Where'd they disappear?"
When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, 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, ay!
Away, away, yeah

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