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