Party Party lyrics

[Verse 1]
We're going to drink enough tonight to drown the average army
By New Year's Day the next door neighbour will be going barmy
The milkman arrives at midday with his usual wisecrack
Who knows a girl with Wednesday legs so when's they going to snap?

[Chorus]
Why does everybody have to be so hale and hearty
Can't they see we're trying to have a party, party, party, party

[Verse 2]
The last thing I remember I was talking to some fellas
Then she said she'd have a word for me with her good-looking mate
And handed me a pint-pot filled with Advocate and Tizer
And I woke in the flowerbeds of fear (beer?) and fertilizer

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
So shift yourself and shake your body
You got bullet proof insurance from fire, flood and Act of God
You got to learn from your mistakes
When you got a face like last week's Cornflakes
The doors and the window frames are by Pablo Picasso
The party decorations owned by Michelangelo
The fine music that you hear is by Stravinsky
With overall design by Leonardo da Vinci
[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
So shift yourself and shake your body
You got bullet proof insurance from fire, flood and Act of God
You got to learn from your mistakes
When you got a face like last week's Cornflakes
Two boys are upstairs in your bed
Three girls are downstairs crying
The Alka Seltzer in the glass is roaring like a lion
You think you've aged ten years tonight and still never been kissed
So you overdose on aftershave and try to slash your wrist

[Chorus]
