 Ab                                                    Ab7/Eb       Ab                         Ab7/Eb

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

              Ab                         Ab/C   C# D Eb

Mama told me not to come

             Ab                           Ab/C  C# D  Eb

Mama told me not to come

  Ab                     Ab/C                 C#      D   Eb

That ain't the way to have fun, no

Piano

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

Chorus

Bridge x2

Interlude:

The radio is blastin', someone's knockin' at 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

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

Chorus

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
