Lyrics The Slackers

The Slackers

Mama Told Me

Put some whiskey in your water

Sugar in your tea

What's all these crazy questions you askin' me

Man, this is the craziest place that I've ever could be

Don't turn on the lights, man, 'cause I don't want to

see

Mama told me not to come

Mama told me not to come

She said, that ain't no way to have fun, son

That ain't no way to have fun, son

Well open up the window

Let some air into the room

I think I'm almost chokin'

On the smell of sweet perfume

And that cigarette you're smoking

Scares me half to death

Open up the window, ma

Let me catch my breath

Mama told me not to come

Mama told me not to come

She said, that ain't no way to have fun, son

That ain't no way to have fun, son

There's someone at the window

Mama's staring at the door

I think I see my girlfriend

And she's passed out on the floor

I've seen so many things

That I ain't never seen before

Don't open up my eyes man

Cause I don't wanna see no more

Mama told me not to come

Mama told me not to come

She said, that ain't no way to have fun, son

That ain't no way to have fun, son

That ain't no way to have fun, son

That ain't no way to have fun, son

Open up the window

Let some air into the room

I think I'm almost chokin'

On the smell of cheap perfume

And that cigarette you're smoking

Scares me half to death

Open up the window, man

Let me catch my breath

Mama told me not to come

Mama told me not to come

She said, that ain't no way to have fun, son

That ain't no way to have fun, son

That ain't no way to have fun, son

That ain't no way to have fun, son

Mama told me not to come

Mama told me not to come

She said, that ain't no way to have fun, son

That ain't no way to have fun, son

That ain't no way to have fun, son

That ain't no way to have fun, son
