When you grow up livin'
like a good boy oughta
And your ma ma takes a shine to her best son
Something different all the girls
they seem to like you
Cause you're ha ndsome like to talk and a
whole lot of fun
But now your gi rl's gone a missin'
And your house h as got an empty bed
The folks'll wo nder 'bout the wedding
They won't listen to a word you said
Gonna take your mama 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 and they make a cut
Do it take your mama out all night
So she'll have no doubt that
we're doing oh the best we can
We're gonna do it take
your mama out all night
You can stay up late 'cause baby
you're a full grown man
It's a struggle livin' like a good boy oughta
In the su mmer watchin' all the girls pass by
When your mama heard the way
that you'd been talking
I tried to tell yo u that all
she'd wanna do is cry
Now we en d up takin' the long way home

Lookin ' overdressed wearin'
buckets of stale cologne
It's so ha rd to see streets on a country road

When your glasses in the garbage
And your Continental's just got towed
We are Gonna take your mama 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 and they make a cut
Do it take your mama out all night
So she'll have no doubt that
we're doing oh the best we can
We're gonna do it take
your mama out all night
You can stay up late 'cause baby
you're a full grown man
