Letra That party Harry Connick Jr.

That party

Went to a little get together
With some old friends
Not much has changed
Since the last time I saw them

There's a chicken in uniform
Wooden leg and a matchstick arm
Saying: left my wing back on the farm
...Tried the buffet...

Tiny took a turn on steel guitar
After he got a fresh feel for the bar
Lines drawn of jelly fish caviar
...Saying: wanna jamm???

I don't like throwing
Parties like that
But I love going
They said no guests
So I thought of you
Hey mama, it's on

A disconcerted youth with a gun
Wants to shoot up some fun
Saying: I'm failing science and math
But I'm head of the class in murder one

Balance sheets unpresarioed ballets
And advertised for run a ways
That only dance on holidays
...When crutches cut in...

Willa was disenchanted
Tossed her garter and demanded
Nothing can be recanted
...If it was nothing to begin with...

A magician did card tricks
For a bunch of well heeled hicks
And held up a red six
...One said: that's a black seven...

I don't like throwing
Parties like that
But I love going
They said no guests
So I thought of you
Hey mama, it's on

A disconcerted youth with a gun
That semi precious son
He needs to learn if you take a life
You ain't got none

Cracked pelicans rode magnolias
Sent advice to rebel soldiers
That all ended with: I told ya's
...So then why do you ask???...

You can tell it's getting late
When Cal calls himself Kate
And peons hire potentates
...Saying: when you finish
Trim the hedges...

I'm making a hurried get a way
Down Santa Monica, out of L.A.
If you like it so much stay
...There's a theme park in the mix...

I don't like throwing
Parties like that
But I love going
They said no guests
So I thought of you
Hey mama, it's on
