Analysis of Party
-
If it isn't the phone ringing'
It’s the doorbell dingalingin'
Oh, this party is starting to go
Over the top into I don't know
How many people are here?
Did you say we're already ‘outta beer?
Oh no here come the cops
Seems someone busted someone's chops
Parties over me say
However, everyone wants to stay
There’s no way to make them all go away
When the sun comes up, they'll be gone
I hope, I promised the pope
Hey, don't light up that dope!
If you don't know what to say at a party,
Just declare it a bust
and go into a bedroom for some quick lust
Let’s you and me get ‘outta here
Before they all run, ‘outta beer!
