 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
 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
 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
