Mama Told Me Not To Come
Mama Told Me Not To Come 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 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" Aus Songtexte Mania
