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 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...

    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
