Party on a Saturday Night Lyrics: I felt it when we started that this party was a real good time I could tell by your expression that Id have to try real hard to stay in line I knew that you were looking for a sign In a burst of inspiration I was telling you the night would turn out fine Through the open door the people and the music maintained a steady roar The kegs beside the pool refilling mugs of drunks clamoring for more Wed never had so many guests before The parking situation blocked the streets two miles to the store Just a party on a Saturday night All our friends pitching in to help the evening go right Carried on until the next afternoon Its too long to be host I hope theyre leaving soon Broken bottles on the porch plastic bags strewn in the lawn People crashed out in the kitchen on the counters with their heads in bras Dont worry bout the group back in the bathroom in the backroom with a cause You left before the clock showed two You left me here with all this work to do I felt it when we started that this party could go on for evermore When you quickly changed expression I could hear the police knocking at the door Everyone was quickly reassured Now I know the reason for the moat around the Castle Kerrymuir Just a party on the next Sunday night All our friends sleeping in avoiding the light It continued til we ran out of brew With more on the way they wont be leaving soon I said theres more on the way so dont be leaving soon Its too long to be host this weekend rendezvous "It's All You" Lyrics Celebrate Saint Pattys Only with the whiskey The only way to party Is with Bacchus bounty But who wants a drunk To come to their todo The balls to have a ball It all comes down to you. The muse calls you to drink And fuel your gifted think The talent for a line Flows from that red wine The pen dont make the art Or the corkscrew The Art to making art It all comes down to you INSTRUMENTAL You gotta have the booze To light your ladys fuse. A shot of moonshiney To spank your honeys hiney. The hooch dont make you hot Or get you past taboo The way to be GGG It all comes down to you. Only with some spirit Can you loose the corset No fun at the fair Repunzel let your hair. Fairy tales are best When the heros true The short of the story It all comes down to you. INSTRUMENTAL Now youve had enough. Of wine, hooch, and stuff Landed in A.A. They tell you pray and pray. But no higher power Will help you breakthrough Strength to get past the sauce It all comes down to you.
