MAMA TOLD ME NOT TO COME
Randy Newman
G7
Will you have whisky 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
E9 Eb9 D9 G
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
G7 C Eb
Mama told me not to come
G7 C Eb G Am Bbm Bm D7 Am7 D7+5
D7
Mama said "that ain't no way to have fun"
G7
Open up the window, lwt 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
E9 Eb9 D9 G
Oh, open up the window, let me catch my breath
G7
The radio is blastin, someone's knockin on the door
The hostess is not lastin, she's passed out on the floor
I've seen so many things that I ain't never seen before
D7+5 D7 G
I don't know what it is but I don't wanna see no more
