Mama Told Me (Not To Come)

In the style of

Three Dog Night

Lyrics

want some whiskey
in your water
sugar in your tea
what's all these
crazy questions
you're askin' me

this is the
craziest party
there 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 to 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
she said
oh yeah

the radio is blastin'
someone's knockin'
at the door
i'm lookin' at
my girlfriend
she passed out
on the floor

i've 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

that ain't the way
to have fun no
