Mama Told Me (Not To Come)

Lyrics

Want some whiskey in your water?
 Sugar in your tea?
 What's all these crazy questions they're askin' me?
 This is the craziest party that could ever be
 Don't turn on the lights 'cause I don't wanna see
 Mama told me not to come
 Mama told me not to come
 That ain't the way to have fun, no (uh-uh)
 
 Open up the window, let some air into this room
 I think I'm almost chokin' from the smell of stale perfume
 And that cigarette you're smokin' 'bout scare me half to death
 Open up the window, sucker, let me catch my breath
 Mama told me not to come
 Mama told me not to come
 That ain't the way to have fun, son
 That ain't the way to have fun, son (oh, yeah!)
 ♪
 The radio is blastin', someone's knockin' at the door
 I'm lookin' at my girlfriend, she's passed out on the floor
 I seen so many things I ain't never seen before
 Don't know what it is, I don't wanna see no more
 Mama told me not to come
 Mama told me not to come
 She said, ("That ain't the way to have fun, son")
 ("That ain't the way to have fun, no")
 Mama told me, mama told me
 Mama told me, told me, told me
 Mama told me
 Oh, yeah
 Mama told me, not to go...
 ♪
 That ain't the way to have fun, no
 That ain't the way to have fun, son
 That ain't the way to have fun, no (look at you)
 That ain't the way to have fun, son
 Listen to mama, listen to me baby
 Mama told me, not to go...
 That ain't the way to have fun, no (yeah!)
 That ain't the way to have fun, son (somebody tell 'em)
 That ain't the way to have fun, no (mama)
 That ain't the way to have fun, son
