Your Mama Don't Dance    (1972)

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 comes around and it's time to go to town
Where do you go? To rock and roll.

Well, the old folks say that ya gotta end your date by ten.
If you're out on a date and you bring it home late it's a sin.
You know there's no excusin'. You know you're gonna lose and never win.
I'll play 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 comes around and it's time to go to town
Where do you go? To rock and roll.

You pull into a drive-in and find a place to park.
You hop into the backseat 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,
"Out of the car, Longhair."
"Louise. You're comin' with me and no more movies."

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 comes 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.

Lyrics by Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina.
Recorded by Loggins and Messina.
