Lyrics
Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
Whats 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
That ain't the way to have fun, son

Open up the window, let some air into this room
I think mommas chocking from the smell of stale perfume
And the cigarette you're smoking about to scare me half to death
Open up the window, let me catch my breath

Some radio is blastin'
Someones knockin' at the door
I'm lookin' at my girlfriend
She just passed out on the floor
Ive 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
That ain't the way to have fun, no, son
That ain't the way to have fun, son (mama told me)

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
That ain't the way to have fun (oh no, no)
