[ti:Mama Told Me Not to Come]
[ar:Randy Newman]
[al:]
[00:00.00] Will you have whiskey with your water
[00:09.77] Or sugar with your tea
[00:11.33] What are these crazy questions
[00:13.30] That they're asking of me
[00:15.07] This is the wildest party that there ever could be
[00:18.55] Oh, don't turn on the light cause I don't want to see
[00:24.00] Mama told me not to come
[00:27.99] Mama told me not to come
[00:30.82] Mama said, "That ain't no way to have fun"
[00:37.05] Open up the window, let some air into this room
[00:40.99] I think I'm almost choking on the smell of stale perfume
[00:44.84] And that cigarette you're smoking about to scare me half to death
[00:48.38] Open up the window, let me catch my breath
[01:14.82] The radio is blasting, someone's beating on the door
[01:17.99] Our hostess is not lasting she's out on the floor
[01:21.57] I seen so many things here I ain't never seen before
[01:25.49] I don't know what it is but I don't wanna see no more
[01:30.80] Mama told me not to come
[01:34.44] Mama told me not to come
[01:37.00] Mama said, "That ain't no way to have fun"
