When you grow up
Living 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 missing
And your house has got an empty bed
The folks'll wonder 'bout the wedding
They won't listen to a word you said
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 all the best we can
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
Living 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
Looking overdressed wearing 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
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 all the best we can
Gonna do it
Take your mama out all night
You can stay up late
'Cause baby you're a full grown man
Do it
Take your mama out all night
So she'll have no doubt
That we're doing all the best we can
Gonna do it
Take your mama out all night
You can stay up late
'Cause baby you're a full grown man
