Intro -x2-: Bb Ab Cm Bb

Verse 1:
Bb
When you grow up
                       Ab
Livin' like a good boy oughta
         Cm
And your mama
                          Bb
Takes a shine to her best son

Something different
                            Ab
All the girls, they seem to like you
             Cm
Cause you're handsome,
                                 Bb
Like to talk, and a whole lot of fun


             Cm
But now your girl's gone a missin'
         Ab                     Bb
And your house has got an empty bed
             Cm
The folks'll wonder 'bout the wedding
           Ab                   Bb
They won't listen to a word you said

Pre-Chorus:
      Bb
Gonna take your mama out all night
      Ab
Yeah, we'll show her what it's all about
              Cm
We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne
              Bb
We'll let the good times all roll out
           Bb
And if the music ain't good, well it's just too bad
            Ab
We're gonna sing along no matter what
             Cm
Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans
       Bb
If you tip 'em and they make a cut

Chorus:
Bb
Do it
               Ab
Take your mama out all night
          Cm
So she'll have no doubt
                                 Bb
That we're doing all the best we can
Bb
Gonna do it
               Ab
Take your mama out all night
        Cm
You can stay up late
                                Bb
'cause baby you're a full grown man

Interlude: Bb Ab Cm Bb

Bb
It's a struggle
                       Ab
Livin' like a good boy oughta
       Cm
In the summer
                            Bb
Watchin' all the girls pass by
          Bb
When your mama
                              Ab
Heard the way that you'd been talking
           Cm
I tried to tell you
                           Bb
That all she'd wanna do is cry

Bridge:
       Cm
Now we end up takin' the long way home
Ab                                           Bb
Lookin' overdressed wearin' buckets of stale cologne
        Cm
It's so hard to see streets on a country road
          Ab
When your glasses in the garbage
                                 Bb
And your Continental's just been towed

Pre-Chorus:
      Bb
Gonna take your mama out all night
      Ab
Yeah, we'll show her what it's all about
              Cm
We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne
              Bb
We'll let the good times all roll out
           Bb
And if the music ain't good, well it's just too bad
            Ab
We're gonna sing along no matter what
             Cm
Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans
       Bb
If you tip 'em and they make a cut

Chorus:
Bb
Do it
               Ab
Take your mama out all night
          Cm
So she'll have no doubt
                                 Bb
That we're doing all the best we can
Bb
Gonna do it
               Ab
Take your mama out all night
