[Verse 1]

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"

Just the other day, I heard of a soldier's falling off

Some Indonesian junk that's goin' 'round

[Chorus]

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

They just seem a little weird

Surrender, surrender

But don't give yourself away, hey, hey

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

They just seem a little weird

Surrender, surrender

But don't give yourself away, hey, hey

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?

Every time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?

Then I woke up, Mom and Dad are rollin' on the couch

Rollin' numbers, rock and rollin', got my KISS records out

[Chorus]

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright

They just seem a little weird

Surrender, surrender

But don't give yourself away, hey, hey

[Post-Chorus]

Away

Away

[Outro]

Surrender (Mommy's alright)

Surrender (Daddy's alright)

But don't give yourself away

Surrender (Mommy's alright)

Surrender (Daddy's alright)

But don't give yourself away

Surrender (Mommy's alright)

Surrender (Daddy's alright)

But don't give yourself away

Surrender (Bun E.'s alright)

Surrender (Tommy's alright)

But don't give yourself away (Robin's alright, Rick's alright)

Surrender (We're all alright)

Surrender (We're all alright)

But don't give yourself away (We're all alright, we're all alright)

Surrender (Mommy's alright)

Surrender (Daddy's alright)

But don't give yourself away

Surrender (Mommy's alright)

Surrender (Daddy's alright)

But don't give yourself away

Surrender
