      Mother told me, yes, she told me
      E                           B
      I'd meet girls like you
      She also told me, "Stay away,
      You'll never know what you'll catch"

                  E                     F#
                  Just the other day I heard
                     B
                  A soldier falling off
                  Some Indonesian junk
                  That's going round

                              B                           G#m
                              Mommy's alright, daddy's alright
                                       F#                         E
                              They just seem a little weird
                              Surrender, surrender
                              But don't give yourself away
                              E
                              A-ay, ayy-ayyy
                                                          A2 B2 (x2)

      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

                              Mommy's alright, daddy's alright
                              They just seem a little weird
                              Surrender, surrender
                              But don't give yourself away
                              A-ay, ayy-ayyy

      Whatever happened to all this season's
      F                    C
      Losers of the year?
      Every time I got to thinking
      Where'd they disappear?

                  F                          G
                  When I woke up, mom and dad
                         C
                  Are rolling on the couch
                  Rolling numbers, rock and rolling
                  Got my Kiss records out

                              C                           Am
                              Mommy's alright, daddy's alright
                                      G                           F
                              They just seem a little weird
                              Surrender, surrender
                              But don't give yourself away
                              A-ay, ayy-ayyy

                                          Away-ay
                                          Away-ay

                              Mommy's alright, daddy's alright
                              They just seem a little weird
                              Surrender, surrender
                              But don't give yourself away

                              Mommy's alright, mommy's alright
                              Bun's alright, Rick's alright
                              We're all alright, we're all alright
                              We're all alright, we're all alright

                              Surrender, surrender
                              But don't give yourself away
                              Surrender, surrender
                              But don't give yourself away...
