Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.

Same as first verse and pre-chorus
Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things."
"Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines."
Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war.
But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years.
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.
KEY CHANGE

When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch.
|F |G |C |C
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
|C |Am |G |F
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.
Away.
Away.
Repeat above chorus until end. End on C.
First tab. Might not be perfect but it sounds good to me. Not too sure about the
G#m in the first and second choruses though. Please rate and comment. Thanks.
