The Party Lyrics - Godley And Creme

Ding dong, ding dong 

Hi! Hey! Sorry we're late 

You're not the first 

Oh Great! 

Hey listen I'm sorry but we can't stay late 

so we parked in the middle at the top by the gate 

on the grass with the crass Volkswagen estate 

Whose is it? Mine! You're kidding, it's great! (Jesus) 

I just love the way he's used the car like an empty canvas 

and let the rust eat itself into the overall design 

with such devastating spontaneity 

David you're ignoring me, come here 

Who do you have to fuck to get a drink `round here? 

It's art David, neo-functional mannerism 

cerebral but oblique 

it's one star four owner shagged out chic 

one star four owner shagged out chic 

one star four owner shagged out chic 

one star four owner shagged out chic 

one star four owner shagged out chic 

one star four owner shagged out chic 

You're a cocksucker Michael 

you are what you eat David! 

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong 

Darling, darling, Hi darling 

Hello darling John! Ben! John! Sandy! John! Somerset! John! 

Weekend! John! Wendy! John! Kevin! Got any? 

No but I've got champagne! 

Hi, hi, hi there. 

Damn it I know you're in a bit of a spot 

and you're used to the Merc and the Moet and the yacht 

and it must be a blow to the ego, what! 

But forget about this video rot 

and write yourselves a hit or three 

like "I'm Not in Paris" or "The Dean and Me" 

I mean really I don't like your stuff very much 

it's too avant garde and aggressive and butch 

I prefer a gentle and melodic touch 

but the kids today have got their ears in their crutch 

If it's not robots singing in Dutch 

it's Adam and the Ants and Starsky and Hutch 

By the way here's your present, Thanks very much 

Now who's here? 

The Prews, the Magoos, the Targetts and the Benmen 

Johnny Peruvian, Marathon Man, 

Blonde and the dangerous cameraman 

Hello. The Prews, the Magoos, the Targetts, and the Benmen 

Brando, Banacek, Pusher, Taker, 

Student Prince and cocktail shaker 

Hello. The Prews, the Magoos, the Targetts, and the Benmen 

Tim Clinch Vicar's son, Prince Buster meets Tweedledum... 

Hello. The Prews, the Magoos, the Targetts, and the Benmen 

Well Jesus Christ is that the time 

I could have sworn it was only twenty to nine 

Hello Susan darling you look divine 

Anyway we'd better be off before we get blocked in 

so give our regards to the Paul and the Lynnes 

and the swankys and the chatters and the Tequila twins 

sorry Attilla's brides 

Anyway must go, must fly, don't drink yourselves to death 

but the baby is allergic to the babysitter's breath 

and she'll have her boyfriend in a vice-like grip 

on the backgammon table sucking guacamole dip 

through the holes in his stockings, isn't it shocking! 

Champagne. 

I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party 

I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party 

I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party 

I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party 

I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party 

I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party 

I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party 

I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party 

Oh boy my skin feels about an inch thick, how about you Ben? 

I'm fine, another line? 

Why is everybody talking in speech balloons 

and disappearing in Tequila fumes 

Another line? Fine. 

I love you Ben, let me count the ways 

whoops here comes the Spaghetti Bolognaise 

So I'm stuck in the toilet with Rick 

and I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be 

I think I'm gonna be, it's gonna be, I'm gonna be, 

it's gonna be, gonna be, gonna be, it's gonna be 

so long Rick 

It's gonna be me and the bowl, 

me and the bowl 

me and the never ending bowl 

me and the bowl 

me and the bowl 

me and the never ending bowl 

me and the bowl 

me and the bowl 

me and the never ending bowl 

I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party 

I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party 

I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party 

I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party 

I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party 

I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party 

I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party 

I hope the whole world comes to my birthday party
