That Party

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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 jam?" 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 unpresarioed 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 L.A. If you like it so much stay There's a theme park in the mix, yeah 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
