[Verse]

E                       E7
Will You Have whiskey With Your Water?
E                E7
Or sugar With your tea?
E                E7                E                E7
What Are these crazy questions You’re askin' me?
E                    E7                E                 E7
Oh This is the Wildest party that I Ever Did See
E                            E7            E           E7
Don't turn on the lights 'cause I don't wanna see


[Chorus]

E        E7        A7        C
And Mama told me not to come
E         E7        A7        C
Mama told me not to come
E        E7        A7        C
She Said "That ain't the way to have fun, Woah~"


[Verse]

E                E7                E                E7
Open up the window And let some air into this room
E                E7                E                E7
I think I'm  chokin' On the smell of stale perfume
         E                E7                    E             E7
And that cigarette you're smokin' 'bout scare me half to death
E                    E7                    E              E7
Open up the window let me catch-a my breath


[Chorus]

E        E7        A7        C
And Mama told me not to come
E        E7        A7        C
Mama told me not to come
E        E7        A7            C
She said "That ain't the way to have fun, no"
E        E7        A7            C
"That ain't the way to have fun, Woah~"


[Interlude]
E        E7        A7        C
E        E7        A7        C
E        E7        A7        C
E        E7        A7        C


[Verse]

E                    E7                    E                  E7
The radio is blastin', someone's knockin' On the door
    E                    E7                    E               E7
The hostess - My Last And she's passed out on the floor
E                    E7                    E               E7
I seen so many things I ain't never seen before
E                    E7                    E                E7
I Don't know what it is - I don't wanna see no more


[Chorus]

    E        E7        A7        C
And Mama told me not to come
E        E7        A7        C
My Mama told me not to come
E                E7                A7                C
She said, "That ain't the way to have fun, no"
E                E7                A7                C
"That ain't the way to have fun, no"
