Get your party gown
Get your pigtail down
Get your heart beatin baby
Got your timin right
Got your act all tight
Its gotta be tonight my little
Schoolbabe

Your momma says you dont
And your daddy says you wont
And Im boilin up inside
Aint no way Im gonna lose out this time

Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Lock your daddy out of doors
I dont need him nosing around
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight

Youre such a dirty louse
Go get outta my house
Thats all I ever get from your
Family ties, in fact I dont think I ever heard
A single little civil word from those guys
But you know I dont give a light
Im gonna make out all right
Ive 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 (thats all right)
Tie your mother down,
Tie your mother down
Or you aint no friend of mine

Your momma and your daddy gonna
Plague me til I die
Why cant they understand Im just a
Peace lovin guy
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
