Party Down
Reel Big Fish Lyrics
Mama,
Daddy,
Baby Sis.
Tell your
Cousins
All about this.
Coming to you now,
From the Money Cow,
Living large in space.
Take your wallet out,
All the Dingos Shout,
"We'll eat your baby Mate!"
I'm upsetting you,
But I'm getting through,
I'm just sick of the same old something.
And you want me to stay but I am out the door.
Baking a cake!
We just came to party down!
Killing every scene around!
We just came to party hardy hardy hardy hardy!
Who ho ho!
Oh oh oh!
She fell down the stairs,
Snakes eat Baby Bears,
Sharks are coming now.
Tearing off my flesh,
Are you getting fresh?
Slap me in the plough.
We like popsicles,
We have lost control,
I can't run 'cause i'm in slow motion.
The mechanical bulls are melting in the snow.
Flipper hurray!
We just came to party down,
Whee-ha!
Killing every scene around!
We just came to party hardy hardy hardy hardy.
We won't let you down,
We won't let you down.
We Just Need To Party Down!
Baking a cake!
We just came to party down,
Ah yeah, party down.
Killing every scene around.
We just came to party hardy hardy hardy hardy hardy!

Love these guys, pure energy. A band when you go see live just makes you move and you can't help yourself, and I'm a hard rocker . But the horns are so awesome and thank god for Aaron for taking then this far. Great talents in this band regardless of the lineup change over the last 25 years. Keep it up Punks ;)

I'm more of a deathcore fan, but i love ska and punk. It's so upbeat and fun to listen too.

@Rainfeather if ur not joking, fuck off. if u are I respect the joke even though I don't get it

@Desert Ranger desert ranger + homophobic comment = where the fuck was he even going with that, it makes literally no fucking sense
Steven Engel
@Desert Ranger dude, hating on someone else's musical tastes is the one of the most annoying things a person can do. It's like crapping on someone else's religious beliefs, you believe in different things, so what, it doesn't mean you can't be friends based on the similar things you like.

Same, I mostly listen to heavier stuff but ska punk is amazing
