The Wild Party movie - What A Party lyrics

<br>

OFFSTAGE VOICES<br>

And the gang took wing, <br>

And the shadows leapt, <br>

Any fool could see -<br>

What a party.<br>

<br>

ENSEMBLE<br>

And the gang took wing, <br>

And the shadows leapt, <br>

Any fool could see -<br>

What a party.<br>

<br>

While the candles glared<br>

And the neighbors wept<br>

Any swell could be<br>

At a party.<br>

<br>

Lightly, <br>

Quickly, <br>

Slightly sickly<br>

Pasty,<br>

Tasty,<br>

Like birds of prey<br>

'Round the hors d'oeuvre tray.<br>

<br>

When the laughter starts<br>

And the game begins<br>

You can guarantee<br>

That's how to blow<br>

That's how to grow<br>

That how to throw a party!<br>

<br>

(The guests enter, one by one.)<br>

EDDIE<br>

Pugilist.<br>

<br>

ALL<br>

Crazy, <br>

Crowded, <br>

Smartly shrouded.<br>

Drinking, <br>

Stinking, <br>

Till by and by<br>

They began to fly.<br>

<br>

BURRS & ENSEMBLE<br>

Oooh:<br>

And the gang took wing, <br>

And the clock ticked on<br>

Any fool could see, <br>

What a party.<br>

<br>

For the mood could swing<br>

When the blues got gone<br>

While the booze was free<br>

At a party.<br>

<br>

Panting, <br>

Prying, <br>

Loudly lying, <br>

Raving, <br>

Craving<br>

Like birds of prey<br>

'Round the hors d'oeuvre tray -<br>

<br>

(Queenie appears, dressed all in white.)<br>

<br>

BURRS<br>

But tonight, <br>

Queenie surpassed them all, <br>

And tonight, <br>

Queenie stood firm and tall.<br>

<br>

ENSEMBLE<br>

With a face of ivory, <br>

And gold for hair.<br>

<br>

BURRS<br>

She was something<br>

To kneel before in prayer.<br>

My God, <br>

Queenie, <br>

You're looking swell.<br>

<br>

ENSEMBLE<br>

Quoth Queenie<br>

<br>
