lyrics

Times are tough, but I dont mind
I’ll buy ya that ring, get it right on time
For the big old party
The one your father wants.

Old white man, got his ways,
His sofa chair, sits in the same damn place
Every god damn day.
You can’t say that word no more, sir.
Okay!

The kids are all screaming, picket signs,
They’re marching downtown, read all the clever lines
On our way to the party
The one your mother planned.

Cardigan ladies, button downs,
Their pantyhose and their diamond crowns,
Saying the kids will be kids,
Honey we’re running late!

What a wonderful party
Would you listen to that band?
What a wonderful party, yes it is.
What a beautiful party,
Would you listen to that band?
What a beautiful party, yes it is.

There’s the doctor, there’s his wife.
I heard he’s cheating, the rumor goes
There’s the Senator, so glad he came.
He heard he’s gay, or so the rumor goes.
There’s our old neighbors, Bill and Diane,
I heard they’re bankrupt, thats what I’m told!
There’s your sister, she looks so nice!
Her drinking problem is out of control.
Everyone’s leaving, the bar is closed,
What will we talk about now we’re alone?

What a wonderful party
Would you listen to that band?
What a wonderful party, yes it is.
