Surrender

Mother told me, yes, she told me
That I'd meet boys like you
She also told me: Stay away
You'll never know what you'll catch
Just the other day I heard
Of a soldier's falling off
Some indonesian junk
That's going 'round
Yeah

Mommy's alright
Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Hey, hey

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
Hey, hey

Whatever happened to all this season's
Losers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking
Where'd they disappear?
But when I woke up, mom and dad
Are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rollin'
Got my cash records out

Mommy's alright
Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Way, way
Away
Away

Surrender (mommy's all right)
Surrender (daddy's all right)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender (mommy's all right)
Surrender (daddy's all right)
But don't give yourself away

Surrender (mommy's all right)
Surrender (daddy's all right)
(We're all alright)
But don't give yourself away
(We're all alright)
Surrender (mommy's all right)
Surrender (daddy's all right)
(We're all alright)
But don't give yourself away
(We're all alright)

We're all alright
We're all alright
We're all alright
We're all alright
