Lyrics Wilson Pickett

Wilson Pickett

Mama Told Me Not To Come

Want some whiskey in your water?

Sugar in your tea?

What's all these crazy questions they're askin me?

This is the craziest party that could ever be

Don't turn on the lights cause I don't wanna see

Mama told me not to come

Mama told me not to come

That aint the way to have fun, no

Open up the window, let some air into this room

I think I'm almost chokin from the smell of stale

perfume

And that cigarette you're smokin bout scare me half to

death

Open up the window, sucker, let me catch my breath

Mama told me not to come

Mama told me not to come

That aint the way to have fun, son

That aint the way to have fun, son

The radio is blastin, someones knockin at the door

I'm lookin at my girlfriend - she's passed out on the

floor

I seen so many things I aint never seen before

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

Mama told me not to come

Mama told me not to come

She said, That aint the way to have fun, son

That aint the way to have fun, no

That aint the way to have fun, no

That aint the way to have fun, son

That aint the way to have fun, no

That aint the way to have fun, son

That aint the way to have fun, no

That aint the way to have fun, son

That aint the way to have fun, no

That aint the way to have fun, son
