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 (that's cool)
You know you′re gonna have a good time
′Cause you got the news (got the news)
That the life o' the party is gonna party with you (is gonna party with you)
We′re doin' our own thing (oh, yeah)
′Til the sun'll come up (′til the sun'll come up)
Sweet Candy gonna be there (uh-huh)
Yeah, it's gonna be rough (said 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 (ooh!)
We ain't down with nobody
That don′t party like we do (don't party like we do)
Once we get it started
We got to go all night (night, uh)
This is the life o′ the party
We gonna do it right
Why party in your own yard (own yard)
When you can party in mine? (party in mine)
All the beautiful people gonna be there
Puttin' the "I" in fine
Throw the records out my window (uh-oh)
CD′s out the door
Might as well give it to the milkman (what)
We don't want it no more (we don't want it no more)
Everybody can smell this funk y′all (woo)
Down in Altanta, GA (what you say?)
Everybody, even Dre and ′em, know it's ok (we all 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, hey

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 got to go all night (we got to go all night)
This is the life o′ the party (uh)
We gonna do it right

What′s it gonna take to get, get you 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 on, 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 (ooh)
Lord, 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, uh, uh
All the purple hippies bang your head on the one

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

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

Life o′ the party
Life o′ the party
