Surrender

Mother told me, yeah she told me
I'd meet girls like you
She also told me to stay away
You never know what you'll catch

Just the other day I heard of a soldier's falling off
Some Indonesian junk that's going around

I said your mommy's alright and your daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ayyy

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

I said your mommy's alright and your daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender

But don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ayyy

Whatever happened to all the season's
Loser's of the year
Every time I got to thinking
Then they'd disappear

When I woke up, mom and dad
Were rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling
Got my Kiss records out!

I said your mommy's alright and your daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ayyy
Away, yeah
Away, yeah

Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
We're all alright
We're all alright
We're all alright
We're all alright!
We're all alright!
We're all alright!
Alright!
