Testo: Randy Newman. Guilty: 30 Years of Randy Newman. Mama Told Me.

Will you have whiskey with your water
Or sugar with your tea?
What are these crazy questions
That they're asking of me?

This is the wildest party
That there ever could be
Oh, don't turn on the light
'Cause I don't want to see

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
Mama said, "That ain't
No way to have fun"

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 my breath

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
Mama said, "That ain't
No way to have fun"

The radio is blasting
Someone's beating on the door
Our hostess is not lasting
She's out on the floor

I seen so many things here
I ain't never seen before
I 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 said, "That ain't
No way to have fun"
