Various Artists – Surrender 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 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

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 rollin', 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
(Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away
(Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)

Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away
(Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away
(Bun E's alright, Tommy's alright, Robin's alright, Rick's alright)

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
(Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
