Well I'm an eight ball shooting double-fisted drinking son of a gun I wear my jeans a little tight Just to watch the little boys come undone I'm here for the beer and the ball busting band Gonna get a little crazy just because I can You know I'm here for the party And I ain't leaving till they throw me out Gonna have a little fun gonna get me some You know I'm here, I'm here for the party I may not be a ten but the boys say I clean up good And if I give 'em half a chance For some rowdy romance you know they would I've been waiting all week just to have a good time So bring on them cowboys and their pick-up lines You know I'm here for the party And I ain't leaving till they throw me out Gonna have a little fun gonna get me some You know I'm here, I'm here for the party Don't want no purple hooter shooter just some jack on the rocks Don't mind me if I start that trashy talk You know I'm here for the party And I ain't leaving till they throw me out Gonna have a little fun gonna get me some You know I'm here, I'm here for the party You know I'm here for the party And I ain't leaving till they throw me out Gonna have a little fun gonna get me some You know I'm here, I'm here for the party
