[Verse 1] Will you have whiskey with your water or sugar with your tea? What are these crazy questions you're asking me? Oh, this is the wildest party I ever did see Don’t turn on the lights 'cause I don't want to see [Chorus] My mama told me not to come Mama told me not to come, oh She said, "That ain’t the way to have fun, hon" [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 that cigarette you're smoking 'bout to scare me half to death Open up the window, let me catch-a my brеath [Chorus] My mama told me not to come Mama told me not to comе She said, "That ain't the way to have fun, hon" [Verse 3] The radio is blasting, someone's knocking on the door Our hostess is not lasting, she's passed out on the floor I've seen so many things I ain’t never seen before I don’t know what it is, I don't wanna see no more [Chorus] Mama told me not to come My mama told me not to come She said, "That ain’t the way to have fun, hon" [Refrain] Mama told me not to come, mama told me not to come Mama told me not to come, mama told me— [Outro] Mama told me not to come Mama told me not to come Mama told me not to come My mama told me not to come Mama told me not to come Mama told me not to come Mama told me not to come My mama told me not to come Mama told me not to come My mama told me not to come
