Get your party gown

Get your pigtail down

Get your heart beatin' baby

Got my timin' right

Got my act all tight

It's gotta be tonight my little

Schoolbabe



Your momma says you don't

And your Daddy says you won't

And I'm boilin' 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 nosing around

Tie your Mother down

Tie your Mother down

Give me all your love tonight



You're such a dirty louse

Go get outta 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

Grousin' an' snipin'



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 gonna

Plague me til I die

Why can't they understand I'm just a

Peace lovin' guy

Tie your Mother down

Tie your Mother down. . .etc etc. . .
