INTRO:
[Bb] [Ab] [Cm] [Bb] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
When you
[Bb] grow up, livin' like a good boy
[Ab] oughta
And your
[Cm] mama, takes a shine to her best
[Bb] son
Something
[Bb] different, all the girls they seem to
[Ab] like you
Cause you're
[Cm] handsome, like to talk and a whole lot of
[Bb] fun
VERSE 2:
But now your
[Cm] girl's gone a
[Cm/Bb] missin'
And your
[Cm/A] house has got an
[Cm/F] empty
[Bb] bed
The folks'll
[Cm] wonder 'bout the
[Cm/Bb] wedding
They won't
[Cm/A] listen to a
[Cm/F] word you
[Bb] said
PRE-CHORUS 1:
Gonna
[Bb] take your mama out all night
Yeah we'll
[Ab] show her what it's all about
We'll get her
[Eb] jacked up on some cheap champagne
We'll let the
[Bb] good times all roll out
PRE-CHORUS 2:
And if the
[Bb] music ain't good, well it's just too bad
We're gonna
[Ab] sing along no matter what
Because the
[Eb] dancers don't mind at the New Orleans
If you tip
[Bb] 'em and they make a cut ^
[Ab]
CHORUS:
[Bb] Do it, take your mama
[Ab] out all night
So she'll have no
[Eb] doubt that we're doing oh the best we
[Bb] can ^
[Ab]
We're gonna
[Bb] do it, take your mama
[Ab] out all night
You can
[Eb] stay up late 'cause baby you're a full grown
[Bb] man ^
[Ab]
BREAK: [Bb] [Ab] [Cm] [Bb]
VERSE 3:
It's a
[Bb] struggle, livin' like a good boy
[Ab] oughta
In the
[Cm] summer, watchin' all the girls pass
[Bb] by
When your
[Bb] mama, heard the way that you'd been
[Ab] talking
I tried to
[Cm] tell you, that all she'd wanna do is
[Bb] cry
VERSE 4:
Now we
[Cm] end up takin' the
[Cm/Bb] long way home
[Cm/A] Lookin' overdressed wearin'
[Cm/F] buckets of stale co-
[Bb]-logne
It's so
[Cm] hard to see streets on a
[Cm/Bb] country road
When your
[Cm/A] glasses in the garbage, and your
[Cm/F] Continental's just got
[Bb] towed
