When you grow up, live like a good boy oughta
And your mama takes a shot in her best son
Something different, all the girls that seem to like you
Cause you're handsome, like to talk and a whole lot of fun
But now your girl is gone and missing and your house has got an empty bed
The folks who wonder about the wedding, they won't listen to a word you said
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 if the new war lands
If you tip a man to 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, 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 talkin'
I tried to tell her, I tried to tell her, I tried to tell her, I tried to tell her, I tried to tell her, I tried to tell her, I tried to tell her, I tried to tell her
I tried to tell her, I tried to tell her, I tried to tell her, I tried to tell her, I tried to tell her
That all she wanna do is cry
Now we end up taking the long way home
Lookin' overdressed, wearin' buckets of stale cologne
It's so hard to see streets on a country road
When your glass is in the garbage and your continental's just been towed
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 if the new wall ends
If you tip them and they make a cut
Do it!
Take your mama out all night
So she'll have no doubt that we're doin' all 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
We're gonna take your mama out all night
So she'll have no doubt that we're doin' all 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
Baby, you're a full grown man
