  If their love's on skids, treat your folks like kids
C                               A
Or your family tree’s gonna snap
F    D
So to make 'em dig, first, you gotta rig
D
Uh, what do ya gotta rig?
N.C.
The parent trap!

[Verse 1]
G       D         G
If they lose that zing and they just won't swing
         C                     A  F
Then the problem falls in your lap
          D                          F
When your folks are square, then you must prepare
G
What do ya gotta prepare?
N.C.
The parent trap!

[Verse 2]
C                  F
To set the bait, recreate the date
F
The first time cupid shot ’em
        D
Get 'em under the moon, play their favorite tune
G
John! Marcia!
N.C.
Ya got 'em!

[Chorus 1]
         D                    G
Lead 'em back to love with the velvet glove
               C                    A
'Cause they're much too old for the strap
           D                     E    A
Straighten up their mess with togetherness
A      D
Togetherness!
N.C.
The parent trap!

Love's on skids, treat 'em like kids
C               A
Lose that zing, make 'em swing
Dm       G
Love's a mess, togetherness
C             
Bless our happy home!

[Chorus 2]

Lead 'em back to love with the velvet glove

Straighten up their mess with togetherness
