A G
When you grow up / Livin' like a good boy oughta
Cmi A
And your mama / Takes a shine to her best son
A G
Something different / All the girls they seem to like you
Cmi A
Cause you're handsome / Like to talk and a whole lot of fun
Cmi A
But now your girl's gone a missin'
G E A
And your house has got an empty bed
Cmi A
The folks'll wonder 'bout the wedding
G E A
They won't listen to a word you said
A
Gonna take your mama out all night
G
Yeah we'll show her what it's all about
D
We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne
A
We'll let the good times all roll out
A
And if the music ain't good, well it's just too bad
G
We're gonna sing along no matter what
D
Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans
A
If you tip 'em and they make a cut
A
Do it
G
Take your mama out all night
D A
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
D A
You can stay up late 'cause baby you're a full grown man
A G Cmi A
A G
It's a struggle / Livin' like a good boy oughta
Cmi A
In the summer / Watchin' all the girls pass by
A G
When your mama / Heard the way that you'd been talking
Cmi A
I tried to tell you / That all she'd wanna do is cry
Cmi A
Now we end up takin' the long way home
G E A
Lookin' overdressed wearin' buckets of stale cologne
Cmi A
It's so hard to see streets on a country road
G
When your glasses in the garbage
E A
And your Continental's just got towed
A
Gonna take your mama out all night
G
Yeah we'll show her what it's all about
