Elvis Costello - Party Party Lyrics
Were gonna drink enough tonight to drown the average armyBy new years day the next door neighbour will be goin barmy (yep,Thats how its spelled)The milkman arrives at midday with his usual wisecrackWho knows a girl with wednesday legs so whens they gonna snap?Chorus:Why does everybody have to be so hale and heartyCant they see were tryin to have a party party party partyThe last thing I remember I was talkin to some fellasThen she said shed have a word for me with her good-looking mateAnd handed me a pint-pot filled with advocaat and tizerAnd I woke up in the flowerbed fearing fertilizer(I would have thought feeling fertilizer would make more sense, butMaybe thats just me and my strange sense of humour!)(note: advocaat is a dutch drink, sometimes described as the dutchEggnog, tizer is a scottish drink (I think), it even has its ownWebsite: www.tizer.co.uk)ChorusBridge:So shift yourself and shake your bodYou got bullet proof insurance from fire, flood and act of godYou got to learn from your mistakesWhen you got a face like last weeks cornflakesThe doors and the window frames are by pablo picassoThe party decorations owned by michelangeloThe fine music that you hear is by stravinskyWith overall design by leonardo davinciChorusBridge:So shift yourself and shake your bodYou got bullet proof insurance from fire, flood and act of godYou got to learn from your mistakesWhen you got a face like last weeks cornflakesTwo boys are upstairs in your bedThree girls are downstairs cryinThe alka seltzer in the glass is roarin like a lionYou think youve aged 10 years tonight and still never been kissedSo you overdose on aftershave and try to slash your wristChorus and fade
