Take Your Mama

When you grow up
Living like a good boy ought to
And your momma
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 lot of fun

But now your girl's gone a-missing
And your house is just an empty bed
And folks will wonder 'bout the wedding
They won't listen to a word you said

I'm gonna take your momma 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 it'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 then you make the cut

Do it, take your momma out all night
So she'll have no doubt that we're doing all the best we can
We're gonna do it, take your momma out all night
You can stay up late 'cause baby you're a full grown man

It's a struggle
Living like a good boy ought to
In the summer
Watching all the girls pass by
When your momma
Heard the way that you'd been talking
Tried to tell you
That all she'd want to do is cry

Now we end up taking the long way home
Looking overdressed wearing buckets of stale cologne
It's so hard to see the streets on a country road
When your glass is in the garage
And your continental's just been towed

We're gonna take your momma 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 it'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 then you make the cut

Do it, take your momma out all night
So she'll have no doubt that we're doing all the best we can
We're gonna do it, take your momma out all night
You can stay up late 'cause baby you're a full grown man

Do it, take your momma out all night
So she'll have no doubt that we're doing all the best we can
We're gonna do it, take your momma out all night
You can stay up late 'cause baby you're a full grown man
