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.
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.
'fore 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?
Ev´ry 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.
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.
Surrender, surrender,
but don´t give yourself away
Surrender, surrender,
but don´t give yourself away
Surrender, surrender,
but don´t give yourself away
Surrender, surrender,
but don´t give yourself away
Surrender, surrender,
but don´t give yourself away
Surrender, surrender,
but don´t give yourself away
Surrender, surrender,
