Squeeze Box is a song by the British rock band the Who from their album The Who by Numbers. Written by Pete Townshend, the lyrics are couched in sexual double entendres. Unlike many of the band's other hits, the song features country-like elements, as heard in Townshend's banjo picking.
Squeeze Box was a commercial success, peaking at No. 10 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 16 in the US Billboard Hot 100. The song is also their only international number-one hit, reaching No. 1 in Canada, and No. 2 on the Irish singles chart.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Mama's got a squeeze box
She wears on her chest
And when Daddy comes home
He never gets no rest

[Chorus]
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's alright
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

[Verse 2]
Well, the kids don't eat
And the dog can't sleep
There's no escape from the music
In the whole damn street

[Chorus]
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's alright
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

[Pre-Chorus]
She goes in and out and in and out
And in and out and in and out

[Chorus]
She's playin' all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

[Bridge]
She goes, "Squeeze me
Come on and squeeze me
Come on and tease me like you do"
I'm so in love with you
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

[Pre-Chorus]
She goes in and out and in and out
And in and out and in and out

[Chorus]
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's alright
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
