SURRENDER by CHEAP TRICK

VERSE

Mother told me, yes, she told me
I’d meet girls like you.
She also told me, stay away,
you’ll never know what you’ll catch.
Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that’s going round.

CHORUS

Mommy’s alright, daddy’s alright,
They just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender
But don’t give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

MUSICAL BREAK (NO SINGING)
VERSE:

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. (TURN PAGE)

CHORUS

Mommy’s alright, daddy’s alright,
They just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender
But don’t give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

MUSICAL BREAK (NO SINGING)

VERSE: (KEY CHANGE)

Whatever happened to all this season’s
losers of the year?
Ev’ry time I got to thinking,
where’d they disappear?

When I woke up, mom and dad
are rolling on the couch.
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling,
got my Kiss records out.

CHORUS

Mommy’s alright, daddy’s alright,
They just seem a little weird.

Surrender, surrender
But don’t give yourself away,
ay, ay, ay.

Away………………………….
Away………………………….

LAST BIG CHORUS!!!!

Surrender, surrender
But don’t give yourself away,

Surrender, surrender
But don’t give yourself away,

Surrender, surrender
But don’t give yourself away,

WERE ALL ALRIGHT, WERE ALL ALRIGHT
WERE ALL ALRIGHT, WERE ALL ALRIGHT

Surrender, surrender
But don’t give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.
(END SONG)
