[Andrew Lippa, Brian D’Arcy James, Julia Murney - What a Party lyrics]
Any fool could see what a party
And the gang took wing and the shadows leapt
Any fool could see - what a party
While the candles glared
And the neighbors wept any swell could be
At a party lightly
Quickly slightly sickly
Pasty tasty
Like birds of prey
'Round the hors d'oeuvre tray
When the laughter starts and the game begins
You can guarantee that's how to blow
That's how to grow
That how to throw a party!
The guests enter, one by one
Madelaine True
Lesbian
Eddie -
Pugilist
Crazy crowded
Smartly shrouded drinking
Stinking till by and by
They began to fly
Jackie sweet dancer
The brothers d'Armano
Pianists
Composers
Dolores
A hooker
Mae
A looker
Nadine
A minor
Oooh: And the gang took wing
And the clock ticked on any fool could see
What a party for the mood could swing
When the blues got gone
While the booze was free at a party
Panting prying
Loudly lying raving
Craving like birds of prey
'Round the hors d'oeuvre tray -
Queenie appears, dressed all in white
But tonight queenie surpassed them all
And tonight queenie stood firm and tall
With a face of ivory and gold for hair
She was something to kneel before in prayer
My God queenie
You're looking swell
Quoth Queenie
