Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
But now your girl has 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 wanna do is cry
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
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

I hope the Sisters realize how important it was for a little 14 year old gay boy from Southeast KY to see and hear this in 2004. Thank you for the music!

This is like the song that Elton John never wrote in the 70's.

Everyone in my family remembers fondly the day we caught our dad trying to hit the high notes in the chorus while washing the dishes. Love you forever dad if you ever see this :)

My mum used to like the scissor sisters. She never ever answered me when I asked why they were called the scissor sisters.

This song actually made me take my mama out all night, and I sang this song at karaoke. Cheesy af, but she was a detective for 25 years. The time I got to take her out after she retired, I'd been waiting for that moment. I hold that memory close.

[@RageKage657]

Treat yo mammas right, people.

Welcome to Fifa 05 deadline day

[@Patriot-up2td]

So Elton John-esque

[@WaaDoku]

The early 2000s were probably the craziest, most insane, and creative period for popular music.... and for fashion.

[@GeometrySmash321]

A your mama joke in the song 😂

[@freeroamtraveler]

Gay man: Damn, this was my coming out anthem.

Check-in from 2024, still a phat Fuggin' beat

[@CycolacFan]

Hadn’t heard this in 15 years, I’d forgotten just how damn good it is.

[@delPigeon]

Can't believe this only has 3.9 million views. One of the catchiest most fun and cheerful songs ever! Every time it comes on I feel happy!

[@pokemaniac908]

Scissor Sisters are always on FIFA, love it!

[@YensidBuckingham]

God, I miss them so much. I wish they would give us just one more album.

"Take Your Mama" is Classic Rock, plain and simple. I loved this song from the moment I first heard it in a Karaoke bar. The melody and the lyrics are perfect. Upbeat, happy, leave you with a smile every time. This song feels very much like the music I most loved when I was a teenager in the early '70's. Songs like "Brandy" (Looking Glass), "Ride Captain Ride" (Blues Image), "Rocket Man" (Sir Elton John), and "Beginnings" (Chicago), were the music I loved then, and "Take Your Mama" fits right in with those classics.

Unfortunately 2010 wasn't ready for this, 2019 bring this shit back, it will blow up the way it deserves.
