The Party
John Thompson Lyrics

We were walking down the street, we were trying to pretend
We were just walking around and pretending to be wild and free.

We were wild, wild boys on a wild weekend
We were acting crazy and carefree like boys on a weekend.

We were down in the dumps and we didn't have to try hard
We were feeling low and didn't have to put much effort into pretending to be wild.

Our old town was just like a graveyard
The town we were in felt dull and lifeless to us.

We come around a corner and what do we hear
As we turned a corner, we heard something in the distance.

Oh rock and roll music coming loud and clear
The music we heard was upbeat rock and roll playing loudly.

The joint is jumping, no hesitation
The place with the music was lively and people were having a good time without holding back.

We're all giving ourselves free invitation
We felt compelled to join the party and didn't need any more of an invitation than the sound and feeling of the music.

Ah, we crashed the party, oh, we crashed the party
We boldly entered the party without permission.

You gotta put up a fight on a Saturday night
We believed that Saturday night was the prime time to let loose and party hard.

There was Monks and Eddie, and Weasel and Freddy
People at the party had names like Monks, Eddie, Weasel, and Freddy.

There was the gang of four, we beat down the door
We forcefully entered the party and encountered a group of four people.

The fence was electric, the dogs were mean
The party had strong security measures, including electric fencing and guard dogs.

It was just like Stalag 17
The security measures were so strict that the party felt like a prison camp, like the one depicted in the film Stalag 17.

When we rung on the bell they come for the business
When we rang the doorbell, the security guards became aware of our presence and started to take action.

So we got while the getting was good
We decided to make a quick exit while we still could, avoiding any consequences for crashing the party.

We did the alligator and the mashed potato
We danced at the party, doing popular moves like the alligator and mashed potato.

Oh, we cracked some heads and broke some hearts
We caused some commotion and mayhem at the party, causing some people to get hurt or upset.

We got in the cellar, or just about
We managed to get into the basement of the party location or close to it.

We got right in but we couldn't get out
Although we entered the basement, we had trouble exiting it.

Weasel got stuck in the bathroom window
One of our group, named Weasel, got stuck in the bathroom window while trying to escape the party.

And pushing didn't do any good
Our attempts to push him free were unsuccessful.

Well we got on the roof of the house next door
We climbed onto the roof of a neighboring house as a means of escape.

Jumped down twenty nine feet to the floor
We jumped from a high height onto the ground below, taking a risk to escape the party and its security measures.

Landed in the arms of an amazon queen
As it turns out, we landed on an attractive, strong woman who helped us up from the ground.

Dancing with her Johnny Be Good
We ended up dancing with her, enjoying the rest of our Saturday night.
