(Randy Newman)
Want some whiskey in your water, sugar in your tea?
What's all these crazy questions, they're asking me?

This is the craziest party, there could ever be
Don't turn on the lights, cause I don't wanna to see
Mama told me not to come

Mama told me not to come
She said! That ain't the way to have fun - Son!
Open up the window, let some air into this room

I think I'm almost choking, from 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
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! son! son!
The radio is blasting and someone's knocking at the door

I'm looking at my girlfriend, she just passed out on the
floor
I've seen so many things, I ain't never seen before

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 told me She said She said

That ain't the way to have fun no no no!
That ain't the way to have fun - son!
Mama told me

Mama told me
Mama told me
Mama told me

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 - That what she say, she say!
That ain't the way to have fun - no!
That ain't the way to have fun - Mama told me

Mama told me
Mama told me
Mama told me

Mama told me
She told me not to come - Mama told me not to come!
That ain't no way to have fun - That ain't no way to have fun

That ain't no way to have fun - son!
That ain't no way to have fun - ah no no!
