[Intro]
Mama told me

[Verse 1]
Will you have whiskey with your water or sugar with your tea?
What are these crazy questions that they're asking me?
This is the wildest party that there ever could be
Oh, don't turn on the light, 'cause I don't wanna see

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

[Verse 2]
Open up the window, let some air into this room
I think I'm almost choking on the smell of stale perfume
And the cigarette you're smoking 'bout to scare me half to death
Open up the window, let me catch my breath

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

[Piano Solo]
[Verse 3]
The radio is blasting, someone's beating on the door
Our hostess is not lasting, she's out on the floor
I've seen so many things here I have never seen before
I don't know what it is, but I don't want to see no more

[Outro]
Mama told me
Mama told me
Mama told me
Mama told me
Mama told me
Mama told me
Mama told me
Mama told me
