Get your party gown and get your pigtail down,
And get your heart beatin’ baby.
Got my timin’ right I got my act all tight.
It’s gotta be tonight,
My little school babe.

Your momma says you don’t,
And your daddy says you won’t.
And I’m boilin’ 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 nosin’ around.
Tie your mother down,
Tie your mother down.
Give me all your love tonight.

You’re such a dirty louse go get outta 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
Snipin’ and grousin’

Tie your mother down,
Tie your mother down.
Take your little brother swimmin’,
With a brick that’s all right.
Tie your mother down,
Tie your mother down.
Or you ain’t no friend of mine.

Your momma and your daddy,
Gonna plague me till I die.
I can't understand it,
‘Cause I’m a peace lovin’ 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.
