Album: Boogie Nights Volume 2

Mama Told Me (Not To Come) [Three Dog Night]

Want some whiskey in your water

Sugar in your tea

What's all these crazy questions they askin' me

This is the craziest party there could ever be

Don't turn on the lights, 'cause I don't want to see

Mama told me not to come

Mama told me not to come

That ain't the way to have fun, no

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 smoking

'Bout scared me half to death

Open up the window, sucker

Let me catch my breath

[Refrain]

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, son

The radio is blastin'

Someone's knocking 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

[Refrain]

Mama told me, mama told me, mama told me

Told me, told me

That ain't no way to have fun, whoah, yeah yeah

Mama told me not to come

Mama, mama, mama told me

That ain't no way to have fun

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

That ain't the way to have fun, son

[Ad lib, repeat to fade]
