Take Your Mama

When you grow up livin' like a good boy oughta

And your mama takes a shine to her best son

Something different, all the girls, they seem to like you

'Cause you're handsome, like to talk, and a whole lotta fun

But now your girl has gone a-missin'

And your house has got an empty bed

The folks'll wonder 'bout the wedding

They won't listen to a word you said

We're gonna take your mama out all night

Yeah, we'll show her what it's all about

We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne

We'll let the good times all roll out

And if the music ain't good, well, that's just too bad

We're gonna sing along, no matter what

Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans

If you tip 'em and they make a cut

Do it, take your mama out all night

So she'll have no doubt that we're doing, oh, the best we can

We're gonna do it, take your mama out all night

You can stay up late 'cause, baby, you're a full-grown man

It's a struggle livin' like a good boy oughta

In the summer, watchin' all the girls pass by

When your mama heard the way that you'd been talkin'

I tried to tell you that all she'd wanna do is cry

Now we end up takin' the long way home

Lookin' over-dressed, wearin' buckets of stale cologne

It's so hard to see streets on a country road

When your glasses in the garbage

And your Continental's just been towed

We're gonna take your mama out all night

Yeah, we'll show her what it's all about

We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne

We'll let the good times all roll out

And if the music ain't good, well, that's just too bad

We're gonna sing along, no matter what

Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans

If you tip 'em and they make a cut

Do it, take your mama out all night

So she'll have no doubt that we're doing, oh, the best we can

We're gonna do it, take your mama out all night

You can stay up late 'cause, baby, you're a full-grown man

Do it, take your mama out all night

So she'll have no doubt that we're doing, oh, the best we can

We're gonna do it, take your mama out all night

You can stay up late 'cause, baby, you're a full-grown man
