lirik lagu that party – harry connick, jr

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 cl-ss in murder one”

balance sheets impresario 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
