Harry Connick, Jr. - That Party lyrics
[Harry Connick, Jr. - That Party lyrics]
Went to a little get-together
With some old friends not much has changed
Since the last time I saw them
There's a chicken in uniform
Wooden leg and a matchstick arm
Saying: "left my wing back on the farm
Tried the buffet"
Tiny took a turn on steel guitar
After he got a fresh feel for the bar
Lines drawn of jelly-fish caviar
Saying: "wanna jamm?" i don't like throwing
Parties like that but, I love going
They said no guests so I thought of you
Hey mama, it's on
A disconcerted youth with a gun
Wants to shoot-up some fun
Saying: "I'm failing science and math
But, I'm head of the class in murder one"
Balance sheets impresario ballets
And advertised for run-a-ways
That only dance on holidays
When crutches cut in
Willa was disenchanted
Tossed her garter and demanded
"Nothing can be recanted
If it was nothing to begin with"
A magician did card tricks
For a bunch of well heeled hicks
And held up a red six
One said: 'that's a black seven"
I don't like throwing parties like that
But, I love going they said no guests
So I thought of you hey mama, it's on
A disconcerted youth with a gun
That semi-precious son
He needs to learn if you take a life
You ain't got none
Cracked pelicans rode magnolias
Sent advice to rebel soldiers
That all ended with: "I told ya's
So then why do you ask?"
You can tell it's getting late
When Cal calls himself Kate
And peons hire potentates
Saying: "when you finish trim the hedges"
I'm making a hurried get-a-way
Down Santa Monica, out of LA
If you like it so much then stay
There's a theme park in the mix
I don't like throwing parties like that
But, I love going they said no guests
So I thought of you hey mama, it's on
It's on, it's on, it's on mama, it's on
With some old friends not much has changed
Since the last time I saw them
There's a chicken in uniform
Wooden leg and a matchstick arm
Saying: "left my wing back on the farm
Tried the buffet"
Tiny took a turn on steel guitar
After he got a fresh feel for the bar
Lines drawn of jelly-fish caviar
Saying: "wanna jamm?" i don't like throwing
Parties like that but, I love going
They said no guests so I thought of you
Hey mama, it's on
A disconcerted youth with a gun
Wants to shoot-up some fun
Saying: "I'm failing science and math
But, I'm head of the class in murder one"
Balance sheets impresario ballets
And advertised for run-a-ways
That only dance on holidays
When crutches cut in

Tossed her garter and demanded

It's on, it's on, it's on mama, it's on
