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"

Well 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?

Every time I got to thinking,

where'd they disappear?

When I woke up,

Mom and Dad were 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

Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away

Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away

Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away
