Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Will you have [G]whiskey
with your water
Or sugar with your tea?
What are these crazy questions
That they're asking of me?

[Verse 2]
This [G]is the wildest party
there ever could be
Oh, don't turn on the light 'cause
I don't want to [D]see[G]

[Verse 3]
Mama [C]told me not to [Eb]come[G]
Mama [C]told me not to [Eb]come
[G]Mama said,
"That ain't [C]no way to have fun[Eb]"
[G][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]Open up the window,
let some air into this room
I think I'm almost choking on
the smell of stale perfume
And that cigarette you're smoking
'bout to scare me half to death
Open up the window,

[Interlude 1]
let me catch my breath
[G][C][Eb][G][C][Eb]
[G][C][Eb][G][D]
[G]

[Verse 5]
The [G]radio is blasting,
someone beatin' on the door
Our hostess is not lastin',
she's out on the floor
I seen so many things here I
ain't never seen before
I don't know what it is but I
don't wanna see no more

[Verse 6]
Mama [C]told me not [Eb]to come[G]
Mama [C]told me not to [Eb]come
[G]Mama said, "That ain't no way[C]
to have fun"
[Incomprehens[Eb]ible]

[Outro 1]
[Eb][G][D][G][D]
[G]
[G]
