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
