Life ’o’ the Party Songtext
von Prince

This is the life o′ the party
We gonna do it right

So you're havin′ a party?
Goody for you
All the beautiful people gonna be there
Yeah, that's cool
You know you're gonna have a good time
′Cause you got the news
That the life o′ the party is gonna party with you

We're doin′ our own thing
'Til the sun′ll come up
Sweet Candy gonna be there
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 gonna hang your head and cry


We gonna have us a party
All are welcome too
We ain't down with nobody
That don't party like we do
Once we get it started
We got to go all night
This is the life o′ the party
We gonna do it right

Why party in your own yard
When you can party in mine?
All the beautiful people gonna be there
Puttin′ the I in fine
Throw the records out my window, CD's out the door
Might as well give it to the milkman
But we don′t want it no more

Everybody can smell this funk y'all
Down in Altanta, GA
Everybody, even Dre and ′em, know it's ok
Hey, we don′t need any trippin'
Y'all on this special day
We just call and let you know
You better not come if you can′t stay


We gonna have us a party
All are welcome too
We ain′t down with nobody
That don't party like we do
Once we get it started
We got to go all night
This is the life o′ the party
We gonna do it right

What's it gonna take to get your booty soakin′ wet?
You and me closer baby, that's a bet

I′m the life o' the party
As long as I got your body
Shakin' 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 makin′ dollars

25 years to life
The judge sentenced me to hard labor with a knife
Makin' cuts for y′all
Keepin' 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 nothin′ if it ain′t fun
My voice is gettin' higher
And I ain′t never had my nose done
That's the other guy
All the purple hippies bang your head on the one

We gonna have us a party
All are welcome too
We ain′t down with nobody
That don't party like we do
Once we get it started
We got to go all night
This is the life o′ the party
We gonna do it right

We gonna have us a party
All are welcome too
We ain't down with nobody
That don't party like we do
Once we get it started
We got to go all night
This is the life o′ the party
We gonna do it right

Life o′ the party
Life o' the party
