Your momma says you don't and your daddy says you won't
And I'm boiling 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 out of my house
That's all I ever get from you
Family ties, in fact I don't think I ever heard a single little civil word from those guys
But you know 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 going on all night
Tie your mother down, tie your mother down
Take your little brother swimming 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
They can't understand it I'm just a peace lovin guy
Tie your mother down, tie your mother down
Lock your d-d-d-d-d-d-daddy out of doors
Tie your mother down, tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight
All your love tonight...
