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 been towed

[Repeat Chorus x2]
