Tie Your Mother Down

Get your party gown and get your pigtail down

And get your heart beatin' baby

Got my timin' right, I got my act all tight

It's gotta be tonight my little school babe



Your momma says you don't

Your daddy says you won't and I'm burnin' up inside

Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time



Tie your mother down, tie your mother down

Lock your daddy out of doors, I don't need him nosin' 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 get 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 gonna make out all right

I've got a sweetheart hand

To put a stop to all that

Snipin' and grousin', in bed all night



Tie your mother down, tie your mother down

Take your little brother swimmin' with a brick that's all right

Tie your mother down, tie your mother down

Or you ain't no friend of mine



Your momma and your daddy

Are gonna blame me till I die

They can't understand it

I'm just a peace lovin' 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

All your love tonight, all your love tonight
