G F When you grow up livin' like a good boy oughta Am G And your mama takes a shine to her best son G F Something different all the girls they seem to like you Am G Cause you're handsome like to talk and a whole lot of fun Am Am/G But now your girl's gone a missin' Am/F# D G And your house has got an empty bed Am Am/G The folks'll wonder 'bout the wedding Am/F# D G They won't listen to a word you said
[Chorus]
G Gonna take your mama out all night F Yeah we'll show her what it's all about C We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne G We'll let the good times all roll out G And if the music ain't good, well it's just too bad F We're gonna sing along no matter what C Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans G F F F# G If you tip 'em and they make a cut G F Do it -take your mama out all night C G F F F# G So she'll have no doubt that we're doing oh the best we can G F We're gonna do it -take your mama out all night C G F F F# G You can stay up late 'cause baby you're a full grown man
