Party on the Roof Songtext
von Lake Street Dive

Summer in the city
Gettin′ hotter every year
We'll have to throw a party
When the smoke clears
Hit the bodega
And grab a couple beers
Tell all the neighbors
To come on over here

′Cause there's a party on the roof
It's a party on the roof


Back at home in Nashville
We used to party in the fields
And out in Pennsylvania
They party in the steel
Well, here in New York City
We don′t have a lot of space
But I know a lot of nice people
And I know a little place

Let′s have a party on the roof
It's a party on the roof

Oh, I love my old building
On the corner of the park
I watch the city from the fire escape
See a glimmer in the dark
I hear church bells in the morning
Called a prayer in the afternoon
And by the time that it′s the weekend
Well, you know what will be done


We'll have a party on the roof (it′s a party)
(There's a party, there′s a party, there's a party on the roof)
It's a party on the roof (it′s a party)
(There′s a party, there's a party, there′s a party on the roof)
We'll have a party on the roof (it′s a party)
(There's a party, there′s a party, there's a party on the roof)
It's a party on the roof (it′s a party)
(There′s a party, there's a party, there′s a party on the roof)
