"Your Mama Don't Dance"

(As recorded by Loggins & Messina)
K. LOGGINS
J. MESSINA

Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
When evening rolls around and it's time to go to town
Where do you go, to rock and roll.

The old folks say that you gotta end your date by ten
If you're out on a date and you bring it home late it's a sin
There just ain't no excusin', know you're gonna lose and never win
I'll say it again, and it's all because

Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
When evening rolls around and it's time to go to town
Where do you go, to rock and roll.

You pulled into a drive-in, to find a place to park
You hop into the back seat where you know it's nice and dark
You're just about to move in, thinkin' it's a breeze
There's a light in your eyes and then a guy says
"Open the door long hair", Louise
You're comin' with me, the local police
And it's all because

Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll
When evening rolls around and it's time to go to town
Where do you go, to rock and roll
Where do you go, to rock and roll
Where do you go, to rock and roll.
