Life ‘O’ the Party

[Intro]

This is the life of the party

We gon' do it right!

[Verse 1]

So you're having a party?

Goody for you

All the beautiful people going to be there

Yeah, that's cool (That's cool)

You know you're gonna have a good time

Because you got the news (Got the news)

That the life o' the party

Is going to party with you (Is gon' party with you)

We're doing our own thing (Oh yeah)

'Til the sun come up ('Til the sun come up)

Sweet Candy going to be there (Uh-huh)

Yeah, it's gonna be rough

She ain't got no off switch

And neither do I

When you read it in the paper tomorrow

You gon' hang your head and cry (Woo!)

[Chorus]

We gonna have us a party

All are welcome too (Ooh!)

We ain't down with nobody

Don't party like we do (Party like we do)

Once we get it started

We gotta go all night (All night! Uh!)

This is the life o' the party (Oh, lord...)

We gon' do it right

[Verse 2]

Why party in your own yard

When you can party in mine?

All the beautiful people gonna be there

Putting the "i" in "fine"

Throw the records out my window (Uh, oh!)

CDs out the door

Might as well give it to the milkman (What?!)

But we don't want it no more (Don't want it no more)

Everybody can smell this funk, y'all (Woo!)

Down in Atlanta, GA (What you say?!)

Everybody, even Dre and 'em, know it's okay (Y'all know it's okay)

Hey! We don't need any tripping, y'all, on this special day

We just called to let you know

You better not come if you can't stay – hey!

[Chorus]

We gonna have us a party (Oh!)

All are welcome too

We ain't down with nobody

That don't party like we do

Once we get it started (Once we get it started)

We gotta go all night (We gotta go all night!)

This is the life o' the party (Uh)

We gon' do it right – (Horns!)

[Breakdown]

[Verse 3]

What's it–what it's–what's it gonna take ya, yeah

To get your booty soaking wet?

You and me closer, baby, that's a bet

I'm the life of the party

As long as I got your body

Shaking like a leaf on a tree

Cutie, come dance with me

You and me, we got mad chemistry

Don't it make you wanna holler?

Come with the life of the party, y'all

We're still making dollars

Twenty-five years to life

The judge sentenced me to hard labor with a knife

Making cuts for ya'll (Oh!)

Lord... keeping the party packed and wall-to-wall

I don't care what they say

"He don't play the hits no more

Plus, I thought he was gay"

But it ain't nothing if it ain't fun

My voice is getting higher and I ain't never had my nose done!

(Look out! Uh... uh...)

All the purple hippies, bang your heads on the one

[Chorus]

We gon' have us a party

All are welcome too (Sing, ma!)

We ain't down with nobody

Don't party like we do

Once we get it started (Once we get it started!)

We gotta go all night

This is the life o' the party (Hey!)

We gon' do it right (Ahh-hey!)

We gonna have us a party

All are welcome too

We ain't down with nobody

Don't party like we do (We don't down with nobody who don't party!)

Once we get it started

We got to go all night (Yeah, ma!)

This is the life o' the party (Ah)

We gon' do it right

[Outro]

(Woo! Ha...)

Life o' the party

(Hey... hey, hey, hey...)

Life o' the party
