ATF: Regrettable Situations

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.



Mama Told Me Not To Come
Three Dog Night
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
There could ever be
Don't turn on the lights
'Cause I don't wanna see

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
No
That ain't the way to have fun
No
Uh huh

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'
About to scare me half to death
Open up the window
Sucker
Let me catch my breath

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun
Son
That ain’t the way to have fun
She said no
Son
Yeah

The radio is blastin'
Someone's knockin' at the door
I’m lookin’ 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 wanna see no more

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said
That ain't the way to have fun
Son
That ain’t the way to have fun
No
Mama told me
Mama told me
Mama told me
Told me
Told me
Mama told me
Not to come
Whoa
Yeah

Want some whiskey in your water
Sugar in your tea
What’s all these crazy questions
They’re askin’ me…



Stuck in the Middle with You
Stealers Wheel
Well I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feelin’ that somethin’ ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wonderin’ how I'll get down the stairs

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wonderin’ what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losin’ control and I'm all over the place

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

Well you started off with nothin’
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawlin'
Slap you on the back
And say
Please
Please

Tryin’ to make some sense of it all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor
Well I don't think that I can take anymore

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

Well you started out with nothin’
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawlin'
Slap you on the back
And say
Please
Please

Yeah I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feelin’ that somethin’ ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wonderin’ how I'll get down the stairs

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you
