Surrender

Mother told me, yes she told me
I'd meet girls like you
She also told me: stay away
You don't know what you'll catch
Just the other day I heard
Of a soldier's falling off
Some Indonesian junk
That's going 'round

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little...
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
[x2]

Father says your mother's right
She's really up on things
Before we married she served
With the WACs in the Philippines
Well I had heard the WACs recruited
Old maids for the war
But Mother isn't one of those
I've known her all these years

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little...
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
[x2]

Whatever happened to last season's
Losers of the year
Every time I got to thinking
Where'd they disappear
Then 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...
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
[x2]

Away
Away
Away

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little...
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
[x2]

Away
Away
Away
