Manhattan Transfer - A-TISKET, A-TASKET lyrics

Want some whiskey in your water

Sugar in your tea?

What's all these crazy questions

They're askin' me?

This is the wildest party there could ever be

Don't turn on the lights cuz I don't wanna see

Mama Told Me Not To Come

Mama Told Me Not To Come

That ain't no way to have fun - no!

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 your smokin' bout to scare me half to death

Open up the window, let me catch my breath

Mama Told Me Not To Come

Mama Told Me Not To Come

That ain't no way to have fun - no!

That ain't no way to have fun - no!

SOLO

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

I'm lookin' at my boyfriend, he's passed 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

Mama Told Me Not To Come

Mama Told Me Not To Come

That ain't no way to have fun - no!

That ain't no way to have fun - no!

Vocal Improv (Mama told me, mama told me...)

That ain't no way to have fun - no! (4x)
