Lyrics

One More Party

Me and the boys were sittin 'round drinking
We was talking 'bout things that we were thinking
When all of a sudden what comes out of Bill's mouth
He said I'm getting old and fat and slow
And I don't recover like I did before
From nights of rabble rousing and too much fun
I looked around and we all agreed
And I took a drink and I looked to see
Then I staggered back to do it all again
Then we made an oath on a rum coke
With the best intentions I'm sure you know
That we would stop this living in excess

Just let me have one more party
One more special occasion
Do it Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays
Holidays and weekends
Let me have one more party
There's more hell we should be raising
One more party yes one more party tonight.

Well I got home about quarter past three
That afternoon she was waiting for me
All dressed to kill and heading out the door.
She said see ya later baby I'm going out alone
You can watch the kids, you can answer the phone
And don't wait up 'cause I'm staying out all night
Well I got real nervous and I started to shake
And I got the point she was trying to make
I begged her not to go but she just laughed
Don't forget the dishes and don't forget the floor
And don't forget to lock the door
There's somewhere I got to be and I'm running late

I'm gonna have one more party
One more special occasion
Do it Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays
Holidays and weekends
We can have one more party
There's more hell we should be raising
One more party, well one more party tonight.

I quit my drinking and staying out late
I feel pretty good but I don't feel great
And I know that it's as good as it will get
But the sun shines bright on my happy home
And me and the wife we don't fight no more
And all this love's not hard for me to take
When I've been working hard all day
And I get home she wants to play
But there's kids and dogs to feed and grass to mow
So we clean up the kitchen and we sit on the couch
And we practice a little mouth to mouth
The next thing ya know it's off to bed we go

Where we can have one more party
One more special occasion
Do it Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays
Holidays and weekends
We can have one more party
There's more love we should be making
One more party yes one more party tonight.
