              E                 E7
Will you have whiskey with your water

   E               E7
Or sugar with your tea

      E              E7
What are these crazy questions

             E         E7
That they're asking of me

      E             E7
This is the wildest party

           E          E7
That there ever could be

    E                 E7
Oh, don't turn on the light

              E        E7
'Cause I don't want to see
[Chorus]
E  E7/G#  A              C
     Mama told me not to come

E  E7/G#  A              C
     Mama told me not to come

E      E7/G#               A           C
  Mama said, that ain't no way to have fun

[Verse 2]
E           E7
Open up the window

         E             E7
Let some air into this room

  E                E7
I think I'm almost choking on

    E                 E7
The smell of stale perfume

         E                E7
And that cigarette you're smoking

         E                E7
'Bout to scare me half to death

E           E7
Open up the window

      E         E7
Let me catch my breath

    E        E7
The radio is blasting,

          E              E7
Someone's beating on the door

    E              E7
Our hostess is not lasting

      E          E7
She's out on the floor

  E            E7
I seen so many things here

        E            E7
I ain't never seen before

  E                  E7
I don't know what it is

            E            E7
But I don't wanna see no more
[Chorus]
E  E7/G#  A              C
     Mama told me not to come

E  E7/G#  A              C
     Mama told me not to come

E      E7/G#               A           C
  Mama said, that ain't no way to have fun
