Three Dog Night, "Momma told me not to come"
Will you have whiskey with your water
or sugar with your tea ?
What are these crazy questions
that you're askin' of me
this is the wildest party
that there ever could be
oh don't turn on the lights
'cause I don't want to see
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
Mama said that ain't no way to have fun
open up the window
let some air into this room
I think I'm almost chokin'
on the smell of stale perfume
and the cigarette you're smokin'
s'about to scare me half to death
oh open up the window
let me catch my breath
radio is blastin'
someone's knockin' on the door
our hostess is not lastin'
she's passed out on the floor
I've seen so many things
that I ain't never seen beforwe
I don't know what it is
but I don't wanna see no more.

Mama Told me Not to Come by Randy Newman
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mama_Told_Me_Not_to_Come
http://www.lyricsdepot.com/randy-newman/mama-told-me-not-to-come.html
From Wikipedia
"Newman's own version of his song is characterized by a slow tempo and has a hint of funk influence. Newman says that it is a lighthearted reflection on the Los Angeles music scene in the late 1960s. He recounts a wild party, and uses the lyrics to convey a sense of excitement and confusion.
The song is loaded with the black humor, sarcasm, and double entendre that made Newman famous. Among other topics, he makes thinly veiled references to drugs, alcohol, and sex. The title itself can be seen as both his mother's admonishment for attending a wild party as well as a potentially vulgar statement.
Notable covers
Since its release, several cover versions have been made, the most famous being a longer, more funk inspired version released by Three Dog Night on It Ain't Easy (titled "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)"), also in 1970. This version has the distinction of being the first number-one song on the American Top 40 countdown show with longtime host Casey Kasem.
Since then, artists as diverse as Tom Jones, Wilson Pickett, Lou Rawls, The Wolfgang Press and Stereophonics have produced versions of the song."

"Mama told me not to come". You're probably looking for the 1970 version by Three Dog Night, although Tom Jones and the Stereophonics covered it in 2000.

Well, I actually thought Tom Jones sung it. Maybe it was a cover.
