Mama Told Me Not To Come Lyrics
Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What's all these crazy questions they're askin' me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don't turn on the lights 'cause I don't wanna 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 your window, let some air into this room
I think I'm almost chokin' from the smell of stale perfume
And that cigarette you're smokin'
Don't 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 (Mama told me)
She said "That ain't the way to have fun, son"
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"
(solo)
Some radio is blastin'
someone's knockin' at the door
I'm lookin' 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
I don't wanna see no more
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come (Mama told me...)
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, son"
She said "That ain't the way to have fun" (oh 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...
Sugar in your tea?

This is the craziest party that could ever be

Open up the window, let me catch my breath
Mama told me not to come (Mama told me)
She said "That ain't the way to have fun, son"

You haven't lived if this song means nothing to you!!!!! We've all been there, at this kinda party and we've all had our mothers warning us in vain. To see what this song really means it needs to be played at a house party where the joints and lines are being passed around freely together with the booze and see how many smiling faces and laughs it gets.
wasnt this song originally done by THREE DOG NIGHT?
Originally by Randy Newman, made popular by Three Dog Night but personally I love this version the best.

it's concering tantric incest sex with your domineering mother.
allegedly.
I say, Tommy didn't follow his mum's advice. Especially not if you read "not to c***"!
If your mama told you that then your mom is a pedophile! Lolol
His mother always warned him about getting his girlfriends pregnant. Thus the title...
