Get your party gown and get your pigtail down

And get your heart beatin' baby

Got my timin' right I got my act all tight



It's gotta be tonight

My little school babe

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 nosin' around

Tie your mother down

Tie your mother down

Give me all your love tonight



'You're such a dirty louse go get outa 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

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

Snipin' and grousin'



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 till I die

I can't understand it

'Cause I'm a peace lovin' guy

Tie your mother down

Tie your mother down

Get that big big big big big big

Daddy out the door

Tie your mother down yeah

Tie your mother down

Give me all your love tonight

All your love tonight
