 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

 But now your girl's 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

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 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

 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 got towed

 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
