Surrender

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 fallin' off
Some Indonesian junk that's goin' 'round

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 thinkin' 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

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

Surrender, surrender (mommy's alright, daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender, surrender (mommy's alright, daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away

Surrender, surrender (mommy's alright, daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender, surrender (Bun E.'s alright, Tom is alright)
But don't give yourself away (Robin's alright, Rick's alright)

Surrender, surrender (we're all alright, we're all alright)
But don't give yourself away (we're all alright, we're all alright)
Surrender, surrender (mommy's alright, daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away

Surrender, surrender (mommy's alright, daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender
