vers 1:

G
When you grow up
                          F
Livin' like a good boy oughta
           C
And your mama
                           G 
Takes a shine to her best son
G
Something different
                                 F
All the girls they seem to like you
                  C
Cause you're handsome
                                 G
Like to talk and a whole lot of fun

              Am             C
But now your girl's gone a missin'
          Am               C       G
And your house has got an empty bed
               Am               C
The folks'll wonder 'bout the wedding
             Am         C          G
They won't listen to a word you said


Omkvæd:

G            
Gonna take your mama out all night
      F
Yeah we'll show her what it's all about
               C
We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne
                                   G
We'll let the good times all roll out
G
And if the music ain't good, well it's just too bad
             F
We're gonna sing along no matter what
             C
Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans
                                G
If you tip 'em and they make a cut

G
Do it
                          F 
Take your mama out all night
           C
So she'll have no doubt
                                 G 
that we're doing oh the best we can
G
We're gonna do it
                         F
Take your mama out all night
         C
You can stay up late
                                 G
'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
