I wear my jeans too short, and my neckline too low
I'm getting stared at wherever I go
I wear my jeans too tight, and I stay out all night
And when you turn me on, you'll see how I can bite

And now my preoccupation is making love
Hon hon hon
I got a bad reputation through playing too rough
I like your stimulation, but huh that ain't enough

So, don't take me home baby na na n'na n'na
Your mama won't like me
So don't take me home honey now na na n'na n'na
'Cause your mama won't like me

I like my music loud, and I shall stand out in a crowd
By doing everything they say I shouldn't do
So when you hold me tight, I won't put up a fight
I'll just knock you out and watch you coming to

Just put me in a situation where I'm turning you on
Hon hon hon
I'll be the devil's recreation and before too long
You could feel the sensation that's oh so strong

So, don't take me home baby na na n'na n'na
Your mama won't like me
So don't take me home honey now na na n'na n'na
'Cause your mama won't like me

And now my preoccupation is making love
Hon hon hon
I got a bad reputation for playing too rough
I like your stimulation, but huh that ain't enough

So, don't take me home baby na na n'na n'na
Your mama won't like me
So don't take me home honey now na na n'na n'na
'Cause your mama won't like me

Your mama won't like me
Your mama won't like me
(What's wrong with your mama?)
Your mama won't like me
(Have a look at me, I'm lookin' good)
Your mama won't like me
(Look at those hips)
Your mama won't like me
(Look at these lips)
Oh your mama won't like me
(Come on baby, look, I'm flossin')
Your mama won't like me
(She ain't gonna like me, she gonna love me)

Alice Cooper is the stage name and ‘fun villain’ character of Vincent Furnier. Cooper became the target of parents and ministers for his dark lyrics and gory theatrical performances that earned him the title Godfather of Shock Rock. Despite once claiming the name was conjured from a ouija board that told him he’s the reincarnation of a 17th century witch, Cooper laughs the topic off with flippant answers like “It was either a Scrabble board or a bowl of alphabet soup” and “I didn’t want a name like Iron Butterfly or Black Sabbath. I wanted it to be something your aunt might be called.”

The band Alice Cooper was originally signed by Frank Zappa to his own record label. Their first notoriety came when Cooper tossed a wayward chicken (possibly arranged by long-time manager Shep Gordon) into the crowd, who then tore it apart at the 1969 Toronto Rock ‘n’ Roll Revival Festival. Newspapers claimed he’d bit the bird’s head off and drank its blood. Zappa advised them to not deny the story and Cooper used it as inspiration to make his character darker.

The band’s teaming with producer Bob Ezrin for their third album Love It To Death led to their US breakthrough with a top 30 hit “I’m Eighteen” in early 1971. By then, the band was already infamous for their stage show, which had escalated into simulated torture and executions. That same year, Killer was released with its two singles “Under My Wheels” and “Be My Lover” finding moderate US success, and both albums being certified gold the following year.
