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
