Mama Told Me Not To Come

Biography:

Randall Stuart "Randy" Newman (born November 28, 1943) is a singer/songwriter, arranger, composer, and pianist who is notable for his mordant (and often satirical) pop songs and for his many film scores.

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
Oh, don't turn on the lights cause I don't want to see

CHORUS
G F C Eb
Mama told me not to come
G F C Eb
Mama told me not to come

G F C Eb
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
Oh, open up the window, let me catch my breath

CHORUS

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
I don't know what it is but I don't wanna see no more

CHORUS
