Same as first verse and pre-chorus
Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things."
"Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines."
Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war.
But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Repeat above chorus until end. End on C.
First tab. Might not be perfect but it sounds good to me. Not too sure about the
G#m in the first and second choruses though. Please rate and comment. Thanks.
