Get your party gown and get your pigtail down
And get your heart beating baby
Got my timing right I got my act all tight
It's gotta be tonight, my little school babe
Your mama 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 nosing 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 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
Sniping and grousing

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 mama and your daddy, gonna plague me till I die
I can't understand it, because I'm a peace loving 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
