SCISSOR SISTERS – Take Your Mama

Scissor Sisters was an American pop rock band formed in 2001. Its members include Jake Shears and Ana Matronic as vocalists, Babydaddy as multi-instrumentalist, Del Marquis as lead guitar/bassist, and Randy Real (who replaced Paddy Boom) as drummer. Scissor Sisters incorporate diverse styles in their music, but tend to sway towards pop rock, glam rock, nu-disco, and electroclash. Forged in the “gay nightlife scene of New York”, the band took its name from the female same-sex sexual activity tribadism.

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

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 got towed
