Mama Told Me Not To Come Lyrics


Three Dog Night Mama Told Me Not To Come

Songwriters: Newman, Randy;

Will you have whiskey with your water
Or sugar with your tea ?
What are these crazy questions
That you're askin' of me
This is the wildest party
That there ever could be
Oh 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
Mama said that ain't no way to have fun

Open up the window
Let some air into this room
I think I'm almost chokin'
On the smell of stale perfume

And the cigarette you're smokin'
S'about to scare me half to death
Oh open up the window
Let me catch my breath

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
Mama said that ain't no way to have fun

Radio is blastin'
Someone's knockin' on the door
Our hostess is not lastin'
She's passed out on the floor

I've seen so many things
That I ain't never seen beforwe
I don't know what it is
But I don't wanna see no more

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
Mama said that ain't no way to have fun
