Havin' a Party Songtext
von Sam Cooke

We′re havin' a party
Dancin′ to the music
Played by the DJ
On the radio

The Coke's out in the icebox
Everything's on the table
And me and my baby, look
We′re out here on the floor

So Mr., oh, Mr. DJ
Keep those records playin′
'Cause I′m a-havin' such a good time
I′m out here dancin' with my baby


Oh, and everybody′s swingin', look at 'em
Sally′s doin′ the twist now
Oh and if you take requests now
I've got a few for you (Now listen to me)
Now, play that song called "Soul Twist"
Play that song called "I Know"
Don′t forget "The Mashed Po..." (I never could do that, never could)
No other songs will do

Now, let me tell you Mr., oh, Mr. DJ
Keep those records playin'
′Cause I'm a-havin′ such a good time
I'm out here... (Everybody, hear me say "We're having a party", everybody)

We′re havin′ a party (Everybody's swingin′)
Everybody's swingin′ (Dancin' to the music)
Dancin′ to the music (On the radio, baby)
On the radio (Having a party)
