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 ALL 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)

| rolland69 (Jax, Fl) | Posted: Aug 26, 2009 - 11:24 I just found out from one of my very very very homophobic friends that if you listen to this and like it... well then you must be gay.... Don't think that's true... but I like Scissor Sisters. |

| Misterfixit (Nashville) | Posted: Feb 17, 2009 - 15:49 Scott and Del both have some terrific riff-a-bilities. There, I made a verb out of Riff. When they were cutting some tracks for Ta-Dah, I had to explain what a "Hair Baby" was to a couple of astounded and repelled bystanders. Most excellent rush I got from their mutual "eeewwww's" Silly girls. |
| jjbix (san diego) | Posted: Feb 17, 2009 - 15:48 hearing these last two songs has revelaed how "thin" they were, . . . weak tunes. |

| jammin621 (Boston, MA) | Posted: Nov 14, 2008 - 18:58 Wasn't crazy about the tune when it was a "hit" - then I saw them on TV and truly hated them. Ugh! |

Does RP play people because they are famous? BTW, I just saw an HD concert on the telly the other day and it doesn't look like they are doing too bad. The venue was packed with happy dancing people. |
