Tie Your Mother Down

Get your party gown
And get your pigtails down
Get your heart beating, baby
I got my timing right
I got my acts all tight
It's got to be tonight, my little school babe
Your momma says you don't
And your daddy says you won't
And I'm boiling up inside
There is no way I'm going
To lose out this time oh no

Tie your mother down tie your mother down
Lock your daddy out of doors
I don't need him nosing around
Tie your mother down tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight

"You're such a dirty louse
Go get out of my house"
That's all I ever got from your
Family ties, in fact
I don't think I ever heard
A single little civil word from those guys
But you know I don't give a light
I'm going to make out all right
I've got a sweetheart hand
To put a stop to all that
Grousing and sniping

Tie your mother down tie your mother down
Send your little brother swimming
With a brick, it's alright
That's alright tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Or you ain't no friend of mine!

Your momma and your daddy going to
Plague me until I die
Why can't they understand I'm just a
Peace-loving guy

Tie your mother down tie your mother down
Get that big, big, big, big, big, big
Daddy out the door tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight
All your love tonight
