Mo ther told me
yes she told me I'd meet girls like you
She al so told me stay a way
you'll ne ver know what you'll catch
Just the o ther day I heard
of a sol dier fa lling off
Some In do ne sian junk
that's go ing round
Mo mmy's al right
da ddy's al right
They just seem a li ttle weird
Su rren der, su rren der
but don't give your self a way
hey, hey hey
Fa ther says your mo ther's right
she's rea lly up on things
Be fore we ma rried mo mmy served
in the WACS in the Phi li ppines
Now, I had heard the WACS re crui ted
old maids for the war
But mo mmy i sn't one of those
I've known her all these years
Mo mmy's al right
da ddy's al right
They just seem a li ttle weird
Su rren der, su rren der
but don't give your self a way
hey, hey hey
What e ver ha ppened to all this sea son's
lo sers of the year
E very time I got to thin king
where'd they dis a ppear
When I woke up Mom and Dad
are ro lling on the couch
Ro lling num bers rock and ro lling
got my kiss re cords out
Mo mmy's al right
da ddy's al right
They just seem a li ttle weird
Su rren der, su rren der
but don't give your self a way
hey, hey hey
a way,
a way
Su rren der, su rren der
but don't give your self a way
Su rren der, su rren der
but don't give your self a way
Su rren der, su rren der
but don't give your self a way
Su rren der, su rren der
but don't give your self a way
Su rren der, su rren der
but don't give your self a way
Su rren der, su rren der
but don't give your self a way
Su rren der, su rren der
but don't give your self a way
Su rren der, su rren der
but don't give your self a way
