Mama Told Me Not To Come
Words & Music:
Randy Newman
G7
Will you have whiskey with your
water or sugar with your tea?
What are these crazy questions that
you're asking me?
This is the wildest party that
there ever could be.
Oh, don't turn on the lights cause
I don't want to see.
CHORUS:
G7 C
Eb G
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't no way to have fun, no!

D7 Bm
Bbm Am
Open up the window, let some air
into this room
I think I'm almost choking on the
smell of stale perfume
And the cigarette you're smoking
'bout to scare me half to death
Oh, open up the window, let me
catch my breath
CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL OVER CHORUS CHORDS:
The radio is blasting, someone's
knocking on the door.
IÕm looking at my girlfriend, she's
passed out on the floor.
I've seen so many things that I
never seen before.
I don't know what it is but I don't
wanna see no more
