Mama Said : Tom Jones
Intro: Piano
E7
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
E7 G# A A# B D E
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
Mama said "that ain't no way to have fun"
Open up the window, let 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
Solo as Chorus
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
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
Mama said "that ain't no way to have fun"
Mama told me, mama told me, mama told me, mama told me
End to stop with last Piano
