Take Your Mama
Scissor Sisters
Intro: [C] [Bb] [Dm] [C]
When you [C]grow up... livin' like a good boy [Bb]oughta
And your [Dm]mama... takes a shine to her best [C]son
Something [C]different... all the girls they seem to [Bb]like you
Cause you're [Dm]handsome... like to talk and have a whole lot of [C]fun
But now your [Dm]girl's gone a-[F]missin'
And your [G7]house has got an [G]empty [C]bed [C]
The folks'll [Dm]wonder 'bout the [F]wedding
They won't [G7]listen to a [G]word you [C]said [C]
Chorus:
Gonna [C]take your mama out all night
Yeah we'll [Bb]show her what it's all about
We'll get her [F]jacked up on some cheap champagne
We'll let the [C]good times all roll out
And if the [C]music ain't good, well it's just too bad
We're gonna [Bb]sing along no matter what
Because the [F]dancers don't mind at the New Orleans
If you [C]tip 'em and they make a cut
[C]Do it... take your mama [Bb]out all night
So she'll [F]have no doubt
That we're doing oh the best we [C]can (Bb-B)
We're gonna [C]do it... take your mama [Bb]out all night
You can [F]stay up late 'cause baby you're a full grown [C]man [Bb-B]
[C] [Bb] [Dm] [C]
It's a [C]struggle... livin' like a good boy [Bb]oughta
In the [Dm]summer... watching all the girls pass [C]by
When your [C]mama... heard the way that you'd been [Bb]talkin'
And tried to [Dm]tell you... that all she wants to do is [C]cry
Now we [Dm]end up taking the [F]long way home
[G7]Looking overdressed wearing [G]buckets of stale [C]cologne [C]
So [Dm]hard to see streets on a [F]country road
When your [G7]glass is in the garbage
And your [G]Continental's just been [C]towed [C]
