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 got towed       [Repeat Chorus x2]
