[English]

Ooh, yeah

Ooh, yeah

Get your party gown and get your pigtail down

And get your heart beatin', baby

Got my timin' right, I got my act all tight

It's gotta be tonight, my little school babe

Your momma says you don't

And your daddy says you won't

And I'm boilin' up inside

Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time

Oh, no

Tie your mother down

Tie your mother down

Lock your daddy out of doors

I don't need him nosin' around

Tie your mother down

Tie your mother down

Give me all your love tonight

"You're such a dirty louse, go, get out of my house"

That's all I ever get from your

Your family ties, in fact, I don't think I ever heard

A single little civil word from those guys

But you know, I don't give a light

I'm gonna make out all right

I've got a sweetheart in hand

To put a stop to all that

Snipin' and grousin' goin' on all night

Tie your mother down

Tie your mother down

Take your little brother swimmin'

With a brick, that's all right

Tie your mother down (yeah, yeah)

Tie your mother down

Or you ain't no friend of mine

Oh, no (no, no)

(Bad guy)

Your mommy and your daddy

Gonna plague me till I die

They can't understand it

I'm just a peace-loving guy

Tie your mother down

Tie your mother down

Get that big, big, big, big, big, big daddy out the door

Tie your mother down, yeah

Tie your mother down

Give me all your love tonight

All your love tonight

(Give me every inch of your love)

All your love tonight

(Yeah, gotta get my timin' right, ay)

All your love

Tonight
