It was decades ago, at my college disco, I played a crazy new track… When I hear it now, it takes me right back (MAMA TOLD ME NOT TO COME) Don’t fear the crowd. It’s time to get LOUD. Stand up, be proud. Jump on that cloud… Come on DJ, drop that sound! In the spotlight, feeling heat. Shining faces, shuffling feet, Spinning plastic, must be right. I take the risk with THREE DOG NIGHT. Music blastin, people bouncin on the floor Craziest disco I’ve ever seen, for sure, Young folk jumpin, bodies heaving, Hit the light show, they're not leaving. (Mama told me… Not to come) Yeah, Mama told me, Told me not to come, She said to me… SON. That ain't the way to have fun! (Mama told me… Told me not to come) Open up the windows, get some air into the room I'm almost chokin' from that smell of stale perfume And those vapes you're smokin', 'bout scare me half to death, Give that fix a break, suckers, let me catch my breath. Whiskey in your water? Sugar in your tea? What's all these crazy questions they're askin' me? (Excuse me, DJ, can you play some ABBH or that new one by Barry Manilow?) Music blastin, people bouncin on the floor Craziest disco I’ve ever seen, for sure, Young folk jumpin, bodies heaving, Hit the light show, they're not leaving. (No, No, No) I'm lookin' at my girlfriend… 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, Phbic DJ’s magic spell is working, that’s for sure! (Yes, Yes, Yes) Playing hide and seek with my own fame, Wanting glory, not the pain, Dancing in the dark, unknown, Fear the crowd but hate alone! (You’re NOT alone) It got so crazy, My memory is hazy, That tune was shocking, The DJ had them rocking. (Mama, Mama) (Mama told me) Like every hit, There’s always a sad bit, Turns out, Mama was right, That AIN’T the way to have fun… EVERY NIGHT! (Oh, No, No, No) (Mama told me) But Three Dog Night, They got it so right, Filling the floor, Every disco night. (Mama told me) (Not to come, Son) Looks like they are ready for my next track .... Now let's see… how about some Earth, Wind and Fire… then maybe I’ll try that new one by T Rex (Mama told me)
