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

[Post Chorus] x2
