The Wild Party movie - What A Party lyrics
rate me<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>

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>
