Story Behind The Song

This was how I felt when I'd get out of work from my day job when I was in my twenties. I figured a lot of people would sympathize. It wan one the more popular songs my bands would do over the years, a real crowd-pleaser.

Song Description

An anthem to the working person who needs to cut loose at the end of the day, this is just a little 4-track done on an old Tascam Model 144 cassette done back in the late 70's. I was just learning how to use a drum machine and multi-track on my own.

Time To Party

You know it's time to party.
I said it's time for fun.
You know it's for everybody, so come on everyone.
You know it's time for good times,
And everybody's hot,
I said it's time to party, so let?s all give it everything we got.

Now all day at the job we been workin' hard,
And each of us needs some kind of release.
When we're finally out we all can drop our guards,
And have the kind of time we wish would never cease.
I said it's time,
You know it's time,
Well, ain't no crime to have a good time,
Come on, come on, come!

Time to party.
You know it's time for fun.
I said it's for everybody, so come on everyone.
You know it's time for good times,
And everybody's hot,
I said it's time to party, so let?s all give it everything we got.

No one wants to be a workin' stiff all the time,
'Cause work without play makes a dull boy.
Don?t let anybody tell you fun is a sin,
?Cause they don't know the meaning of joy.
I said it's time,
You know it's time,
Well, ain't no crime to have a good time,
Come on, come on, come!

You know it's time to party.
I said it's time for fun.
You know it's for everybody, so come on everyone.
I said it's time for good times,
And everybody's hot,
You know it's time to party, so let's all give it everything we got!
