Three Dog Night was an American rock and roll band active from 1968 to 1975. Their first gold record was "One" in 1969, followed by "Easy To Be Hard" from the musical Hair. They had three number one songs: "Mama Told Me Not to Come," "Joy to the World", and "Black and White". The band included three lead vocalists — Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron, and Cory Wells — and Michael Allsup on guitar, Floyd Sneed on drums, Joe Schermie (from the Cory Wells Blues Band) on bass, and Jimmy Greenspoon on keyboards. The band was the protegé of Beach Boys producer, composer, vocalist, and instrumentalist Brian Wilson, and at the time went under the name Redwood.

Mamma Told Me Not To Come Lyrics

Three Dog Night

Want some wiskey in your water,
Sugar in your tea.
What's all these crazy questions you asking me.
This is the crazest party that could ever be.
Don't turn on the lights cause I don't want to see.
CHORUS:
Mamma told me not to come (2)
That ain't the way to have fun.
Open up the window,
Let some air into this room.
Think I'm almost choking from the smell of stale perfume.
And that cigarette your smoking bout scare me half to death.
Open up the window sucker,
let me catch my breath.
CHORUS
The radio was blasting,
Someones knocking at the door
I'm looking at my girlfriend,
She's passed out on the floor
I've seen so many things I ain't never seen before.
Don't know what it is I don't want to see no more.
CHORUS
