Mother told me, yes, she told me, I'd meet guys like you
She also told me, "Stay away. You'll never know what you'll catch"
Just the other day I heard a soldier's falling off
Some Indonesian junk was goin' round
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
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
Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year
Every time I got to thinking and then they'd disappear
When I woke up, Mom and Dad were rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rollin', 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
Repeat
