Take Your Mama Lyrics

When you grow up, livin' like a good boy oughta
And your mama, takes a shine to her best son
Something different, all the girls they seem to like you
'Cause you're handsome, like to talk, and a whole lot of fun

But now your girl's gone a missin'
And your house has got an empty bed
The folks'll wonder 'bout the wedding
They won't listen to a word you said

We're gonna take your mama out all night
Yeah, we'll show her what it's all about
We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne
We'll let the good times all roll out
And if the music ain't good, well it's just too bad
We're gonna sing along no matter what
Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans
If you tip 'em and they make a cut

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

It's a struggle, livin' like a good boy oughta
In the summer, watchin' all the girls pass by
When your mama, heard the way that you'd been talking
I tried to tell you, that all she'd want to do is cry

Now we end up takin' the long way home
Lookin' overdressed wearin' buckets of stale cologne
It's so hard to see streets on a country road
When your glasses in the garbage
And your Continental's just been towed

We're gonna take your mama out all night
Yeah we'll show her what it's all about
We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne
We'll let the good times all roll out
And if the music ain't good, well it's just too bad
We're gonna sing along no matter what
Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans
If you tip 'em and they make a cut

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

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

What is the Meaning of Take Your Mama?

This upbeat track from Scissor Sisters is more than just a catchy tune. It's an empowering anthem about living your truth and sharing it with those closest to you, even if it might be challenging. The lyrics suggest the protagonist is a young man who has been hiding his true self, possibly his sexuality, from his mother. The song encourages him to take his mother out, show her his world and introduce her to his lifestyle. The aim is not only for acceptance but also for understanding and celebration of who he truly is. Even if things don't go as planned (bad music or a towed car), the important thing is that they're being honest with each other and doing their best.
