Scissor Sisters - Take Your Mama lyrics

rate me

When you grow up

Livin' like a good boy oughta

And your mama

Takes a shine to her best son

Something different

All the girls they seem to like you

Cause you're handsome

Like to talk and a whole lot of fun

But now your girl's gone a missin'

And your house has got an empty bed

The folks'll wonder 'bout the wedding

They won't listen to a word you said

[Chorus]

Gonna take your mama out all night

Yeah we'll show her what it's all about

We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne

We'll let the good times all roll out

And if the music ain't good, well it's just too bad

We're gonna sing along no matter what

Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans

If you tip 'em and they make a cut

Do it

Take your mama out all night

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

You can stay up late

'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 been towed

[Repeat Chorus x2]
