Wh en you grow up livin'
like a good boy oughta
And your ma ma takes a shine to her best son
Something d ifferent 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 has got an emp ty bed
The folks'll wo nder 'bout the wedding
They won't listen to a wo rd you said
Go nna take your mama out all night
Yeah we'll show her what it's all about
We'll get her ja cked 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 'e m and they make a cut
Do it take your mama out all night
So she'l l have no doubt that
we're doing oh the b est we can
We're gonna do it take
your mama out all night
You can stay up late 'cause baby
you're a full gr own man
It's a s truggle livin' like a good boy oughta
In the su mmer watchin' all the girls pass by
When your m ama 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'
buck ets of stale cologne
It's so ha rd to see streets on a country road
E♭monC
When your glasses in the garbage
And your C ontinental's just got towed
We are Gon na take your mama out all night
Yeah we'll show her what it's all about
We'll get her ja cked 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 t ip 'em and they make a cut
Do it take your mama out all night
So she'l l have no doubt that
we're doing oh the b est we can
We're gonna d o it take
your mama out all night
You can stay up late 'cause baby
you're a full gr own man
