A                                          G
When you grow up / Livin' like a good boy oughta
          Bm                              A
And your mama / Takes a shine to her best son
A                                                     G
Something different / All the girls they seem to like you
             Bm                                         A
Cause you're handsome / Like to talk and a whole lot of fun

[Pre-chorus]
             Bm             A
But now your girl's gone a missin'
         G                E     A
And your house has got an empty bed
             Bm               A
The folks'll wonder 'bout the wedding
           G           E        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
               D
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
            D
Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans
            A
If you tip 'em and they make a cut
A
Do it
               G
Take your mama out all night
                   D                                    A
So she'll have no doubt that we're doing oh the best we can
A
We're gonna do it
               G
Take your mama out all night
        D                                            A
You can stay up late 'cause baby you're a full grown man

A   G   Bm   A

[Verse]
A                                        G
It's a struggle / 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                               A
I tried to tell you / That all she'd wanna do is cry

[Pre-chorus]
       Bm                     A
Now we end up takin' the long way home
G                           E                A
Lookin' overdressed wearin' buckets of stale cologne
        Bm                        A
It's so hard to see streets on a country road
          G
When your glasses in the garbage
          E                     A
And your Continental's just got towed

[Chorus]
A
Gonna take your mama out all night
            G
Yeah we'll show her what it's all about
               D
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
            D
Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans
            A
If you tip 'em and they make a cut
A
Do it
               G
Take your mama out all night
                   D                                    A
So she'll have no doubt that we're doing oh the best we can
A
We're gonna do it
               G
Take your mama out all night
        D                                            A
You can stay up late 'cause baby you're a full grown man

A   G   Bm   A   x3

A
Do it
               G
Take your mama out all night
                   D                                    A
So she'll have no doubt that we're doing oh the best we can
A
We're gonna do it
               G
Take your mama out all night
        D                                            A
You can stay up late 'cause baby you're a full grown man
