Mama Told Me Not To Come
Original Music & Lyrics by Randy Newman
Originally recorded by Three Dog Night, Unichappell Publishing


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

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 chokin'
On the smell of stale perfume

And the cigarette you're smokin'
'S about to scare me half to death
Oh open up the window, sucker
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

Soulogik verse

Wrong place, wrong time, gritty looks from all sides
Liquor bottles, skimpy dressed models, it’s like apartheid

Dudes on one side limpin’ like they got a piece
Honeys not feelin’ it, lookin’ like they gotta leave


And that leads to a ratio that’s invitin’ to violence
Smell the herbal smoke, ciroc bottles leakin’, everyone’s fired

Steppin’ on shoes, pushin’ and shovin’, messed up my mood
Got in a brawl… Oh Lord!! I should’ve listened to ma dukes


So now I’m here, black eye, knuckles feelin’ sore
Illy trynna make me feel better but I’m still euphoric
Lookin’ for heads to bust, my rep is up for question
I gotta rep the gang mentality – no morality once you’re stuck

This is not where I should be… I’m bright, I got a future
I should probably just be out before these brothers start shootin’

Hit the whip wit’ my chick, put my foot on the gas
I’m done wit’ that nonsense, I’m gone and I’m not lookin’ back.. nah


Radio is blastin'
Someone's knockin' on the door
I'm lookin' at this girl passed out on the floor


I've seen so many things
That 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
