Lyrics:

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'
Well 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

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 is neither 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

Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Were every time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, mom and dad were 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

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

We're all alright, we're all alright
We're all alright, we're all alright
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
