Tie Your Mother Down

Get your party down, get your pigtail down
Get your heart beatin', baby
I got my timin' right, I got my act all tight
You know it's gotta be a light, my little baby

Your mama says you don't, your daddy says you won't
And I'm boilin' up inside, ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time

Tie your mother down, tie your mother down
Lock your daddy out of doors, I don't need him nosing around
Tie your mother down, tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight, yeah

You're such a dirty louse, come on, get outta my house
That's all I ever get from you
Family ties, in fact I don't think I ever heard
A single little civil word from those guys

But I don't give a light, I'm gonna make out all right
I got a sweetheart hand to put an end to all that grousin' and snipin'

Tie your mother down, tie your mother down
Take your little brother swimmin' with a brick, that's all right
Tie your mother down, tie your mother down
Or you ain't no friend of mine
You ain't no friend of mine

Your momma and your daddy are gonna plague me 'til I die
Why can't they understand I'm just a peaceful lovin' guy?

Tie your mother down, tie your mother down
Get that d-d-d-d-d-d-daddy out the doors
Tie your mother down, tie your mother down
Or you ain't no friend of mine
You ain't no friend of mine
