D-DU-UDU
 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
 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
 etc etc
