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 a soldier falling off some

Indonesian junk that's going round.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a

little weird.

Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay,

ay, ay.

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, ay,

ay, ay.

Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the

year?

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

When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch.

Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, 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, ay,

ay, ay.

Away.

Away.
