Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Okay, party people in the house
Ooh, party, ah, party
Ooh, party, ah, party
Ooh, party, ah, party
Ooh, party, ah, party
I snuck in past my curfew trying hang with the big boys
There were hands swingin', people singin' and others on the wall
Disco lights blinkin' and people big and small
Security finally caught me, talkin' 'bout "Son you're kinda young"
I said, "Beat this Mr. Officer I'm just trying to have some fun"
Now on my way out, this girl said, "Whuddup shorty?"
I broke away from the officer and then said, "Girl, it's time to party"
You know
Oh, party, ah, party
Oh, party, ah, party
Oh, party, ah, party
Oh, party, ah, party
Next I went to a club to see what he said I was missin'
Snuck through the back door, it was like "Yeah, I can get with this"
A whole bunch of cuties surrounded by a bunch of moles
With dreadlocks, bell bottoms and a couple wearing Afros
Now I was Krossed Out, totally fly to the T
Getting all the girlies then I got caught by security
He grabbed me up and said, "Yo, I just kicked out your friend
And I don't want to see you and him around here ever again trying out"
Oh, party, ah, party
Oh, party, ah, party
Oh, party, ah, party
Oh, party, ah, party
Oh, party, ah, party
Oh, party, ah, party
Oh, party, ah, party
Oh, party, ah, party
Okay party people in the house
Okay party people in the house
Yeah, part
One night we both decided that we would go together
Totally Krossed Out, into more Krossed Out leather
Now I was lookin' fly from head to toe
And all we both could think about was reaching the back door
We were lookin' diggy diggy doe ready to rock
You know?
But when got to the back door
Oh, the back door shouldn't have be locked
Now Kris was getting mad, but I had other thoughts
Of ways of getting in,
When I was getting caught
So we could
Oh, party, ah, party
Oh, party, ah, party
Oh, party, ah, party
Oh, party, ah, party
Oh, party, ah, party
Oh, party, ah, party
Oh, party, ah, party
Oh, party, ah, party
Oh, party, ah, party
Oh, party, ah
The song "Party" by Kris Kross is a lively tune that talks about the adventures of the two young rappers in different clubs. The song starts with one of the rappers sneaking into a club despite being underage, and then getting caught by security. He explains that he just wanted to have some fun and joins the party anyway. In the second verse, the duo goes to another club, and this time, security kicks out one of their friends. They end up trying to sneak into the club through the back door but find it locked, causing frustration. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Party, ah, party" several times, along with the occasional "Okay party people in the house."
One interpretation of the song could be that it's about rebellion and breaking rules to have a good time. The two rappers are still young and aren't supposed to be at these clubs, but they sneak in anyway, often getting caught but still having fun. The theme of the song could also represent nostalgia for youth and the feeling of freedom that comes with breaking the rules. The chorus could be seen as a celebratory chant of living in the moment and enjoying life to the fullest, no matter the consequences.

Party time
It's time to party
Okay, party people in the house
Everybody at the party, let's go!
Ooh, party, ah, party
We're all excited to party
I was at this club, this place called Roy's
I went to a club called Roy's
I snuck in past my curfew trying hang with the big boys
I broke curfew to hang out with older guys at the club
There were hands swingin', people singin' and others on the wall
People were dancing, singing, or standing against the wall
Disco lights blinkin' and people big and small
The club had flashing disco lights and people of all sizes
Security finally caught me, talkin' 'bout "Son you're kinda young"
The security guard caught me and said I was too young
I said, "Beat this Mr. Officer I'm just trying to have some fun"
I told the officer I was just trying to have a good time
Now on my way out, this girl said, "Whuddup shorty?"
As I was leaving, a girl greeted me
I broke away from the officer and then said, "Girl, it's time to party"
I ditched the officer and told the girl it was time to party
Next I went to a club to see what he said I was missin'
I went to another club to see what I was missing
Snuck through the back door, it was like "Yeah, I can get with this"
I sneaked in through the back door and enjoyed the club
A whole bunch of cuties surrounded by a bunch of moles
There were attractive people surrounded by unattractive ones
With dreadlocks, bell bottoms and a couple wearing Afros
Some people had dreads, bell bottoms or Afros
Now I was Krossed Out, totally fly to the T
I was looking cool and stylish
Getting all the girlies then I got caught by security
I was flirting with girls but was caught by security
He grabbed me up and said, "Yo, I just kicked out your friend
The security guard kicked out my friend and warned me not to come back
And I don't want to see you and him around here ever again trying out"
He didn't want us to come back and try to party again
One night we both decided that we would go together
My friend and I decided to go to a club together
Totally Krossed Out, into more Krossed Out leather
We were dressed in trendy and stylish clothes
Now I was lookin' fly from head to toe
I was looking stylish from head to toe
And all we both could think about was reaching the back door
We wanted to go to the back and party
We were lookin' diggy diggy doe ready to rock
We were ready to party
But when got to the back door
But when we got to the back door
Oh, the back door shouldn't have be locked
The back door shouldn't have been locked
Now Kris was getting mad, but I had other thoughts
My friend Kris was getting angry, but I had a plan
Of ways of getting in,
I was thinking of ways to get in
When I was getting caught
But I got caught
