[Verse 1]
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 wanna see

[Chorus]
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
Mama said it ain't no way to have fun

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
Mama said it ain't no way to have fun

[Verse 3]
The radio is blasting, someone 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
[Chorus]
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
Mama said it ain't no way to have fun
