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

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 wanna 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

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

Whee, dancing! I liked the narrative in this vid, I get a real sense of story from the progression--the bridge especially works for me. Bridges are hard! I liked it, anonyvidder!

Aw, that was fun!

[thingswithwings]

This is fabulous! I love that it's about communities of ladies and what they can do for each other (not unlike the film!). Lovely work.

OMG I had forgotten how much I loved this movie, and this vid has everything in it to remind me! So, so lovely and fun, but with the deft little touches here and there that bring it back to Earth and <3 <3 <3

Aww. I got a wonderful feeling of the relationships from this.

I still haven't seen this film, but your vid conveyed a great sense of community and friendships. Lovely work!

This was so genius, I loved the combination of humor and heart, everything worked so well together to give a really strong picture of good friends that was a lot of fun to watch!
