元々この曲を最初に取り上げたのが新生エリック・バードン&アニマルズ(Eric Burdon & the ANimals)でした。1967年のアルバム『Eric is Here』に収録されました。

 

 

1970年にはランディが自身のアルバム『12 Song』でセルフカバーしました。

Mama Told Me (Not to Come)

By Randy Newman

 

Want some whiskey in your water?

Sugar in your tea?

What's all these crazy questions you'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, Oh Lord

Mama told me not to come

"That ain't the way to have fun, no" (Uh-uh!)

 

Open up your 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, She say, uh

"That ain't the way to have fun, son"

"That ain't the way to have fun, son" she said

 

The radio is blastin', someone's knockin' on the door

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

I seen so many things I ain't never seen before

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

 

Mama told me not to come, Oh, Lord

Mama told me not to come

She said, "That ain't the way to have fun, son"

"That ain't the way to have fun, no"

 

Mama told me, mama told me

Mama told me, told me, told me

Mama told me, told me, ooh, yeah, yeah

Mama told me not to go

Mama told me, mama told me

Ain't that the truth

 

"That ain't the way to have fun, no"

"That ain't the way to have fun, son"

"That ain't the way to have fun, no"

"That ain't the way to have fun, son"

 

"That ain't the way to have fun, no"

"That ain't the way to have fun, son"

"That ain't the way to have fun, no"

"That ain't the way to have fun, son"
