Scissor Sisters é uma banda nova-iorquina, formada em 2001, cujo nome (literalmente "irmãs tesouras") é um codinome referente a uma gíria em inglês para uma posição sexual lésbica.
Em 2000 Shears conhece Babydaddy numa visita ao Kentucky, e logo começam a compor e tocar músicas. Shears volta à cena agitada de Nova Iorque com o seu novo "amigo" Babydaddy, até que, na noite de Halloween o duo conhece Ana Matronic num cabaret. A afinidade foi imediata e a proposta de uma banda foi se tornando cada vez mais próxima

[Verse] Bb When you grow up Ab Livin' like a good boy oughta Cm And your mama Bb Takes a shine to her best son
Something different Ab All the girls, they seem to like you Cm Cause you're handsome, Bb Like to talk, and a whole lot of fun
[Bridge] Cm But now your girl's gone a missin' Bb And your house has got an empty bed Cm The folks'll wonder 'bout the wedding Bb They won't listen to a word you said
[Chorus] Bb Gonna take your mama out all night Ab Yeah, we'll show her what it's all about Eb We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne Bb We'll let the good times all roll out Bb And if the music ain't good, well it's just too bad Ab We're gonna sing along no matter what Eb Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans BbAbAbABb If you tip 'em and they make a cut BbAb Do it Take your mama out all night Eb So she'll have no doubt BbAbAbABb That we're doing all the best we can
BbAb Gonna do it Take your mama out all night Eb You can stay up late BbAbAbABb 'cause baby you're a full grown man

[Verse] Bb It's a struggle Ab Livin' like a good boy oughta Cm In the summer Bb Watchin' all the girls pass by Bb When your mama Ab Heard the way that you'd been talking Cm I tried to tell you Bb That all she'd wanna do is cry
[Bridge] Cm Now we end up takin' the long way home F/CBb Lookin' overdressed wearin' buckets of stale cologne Cm It's so hard to see streets on a country road F/C When your glasses in the garbage Bb And your Continental's just been towed
[Chorus] Bb Gonna take your mama out all night Ab Yeah, we'll show her what it's all about Eb We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne Bb We'll let the good times all roll out Bb And if the music ain't good, well it's just too bad Ab We're gonna sing along no matter what Eb Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans BbAbAbABb If you tip 'em and they make a cut BbAb Do it Take your mama out all night Eb So she'll have no doubt BbAbAbABb That we're doing all the best we can
