Take Your Mama

[Verse 1]
When you grow up
Livin' like a good boy oughta
And your mama
Takes a shine to her best son
Something different
All the girls, they seem to like you
'Cause you're handsome
Like to talk, and a whole lot of fun

[Pre-Chorus]
But now your girl has gone a-missin'
And your house has got an empty bed
The folks'll wonder 'bout the wedding
They won't listen to a word you said

[Chorus]
We're 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

[Verse 2]
It's a struggle
Livin' like a good boy oughta
In the summer
Watchin' all the girls pass by
When your mama
Heard the way that you'd been talking
I tried to tell you
That all she'd wanna do is cry

[Pre-Chorus]
Now we end up takin' the long way home
Lookin' overdressed, wearin' buckets of stale cologne
It's so hard to see streets on a country road
When your glasses in the garbage
And your Continental's just been towed

[Chorus]
We're 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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
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
