Your mama don't dance
And your daddy don't rock 'n' roll
Your mama don't dance
And your daddy don't rock 'n' rollBut when evening comes around
And it's time to hit the town
Where do you go? You gotta rock itThe old folks say
That ya gotta end your date by ten
"But if you're out on a date
Don't you bring her home late
'Cuz it's a sin"You know there's no excuse
You know you're gonna lose
You never win
I'll say it againAnd it's all because your mama don't dance
And your daddy don't rock 'n' roll
Your mama don't dance
And your daddy don't rock 'n' rollWhen evening rolls around
And it's time to hit the town
Where do you go? To rock it, rock itEveryone, gather 'round
Let me tell you all about it
You see I pulled into a drive-in
And I found a place to parkWe hopped into the backseat
Where it's always nice and dark
I'm just about to move
Thinking to myself, Mmm, bet this is a breezeThen there's a light in my eye and a guy says
Out of the car, long hair
Oowee, You're coming with me
Said the local policeAnd it's all because your mama don't dance
And your daddy don't rock 'n' roll
Your mama don't dance
And your daddy don't rock 'n' rollWhen evening rolls around
And it's time to hit the town
Where do you go? Play me a little, C.C.Your mama don't dance
And your daddy don't rock 'n' roll
Your mama don't dance
And your daddy don't rock 'n' rollThey just ain't cool
And they ain't about to start
Your mama don't dance
And you daddy don't rockYour mama don't dance, no
She just don't dance, no
Your mama don't dance
And your daddy don't rock 'n' roll, oh, no
