Let's Have A Party
MUD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some people like to roll
But moving and a-grooving gonna satisfy my soul
Let's have a party.
Whoa, let's have a party
Send them to the store let's buy some more
Let's have a party tonight.
I've never kissed a coon
But I shake a chicken in the middle of the room
Let's have a party.
Whoa, let's have a party
Send them to the store let's buy some more
Let's have a party tonight.
Break
Honky Tonky Joe
Is knocking at the door
Bring him and fill him up and send him on the floor.
Let's have a party.
Whoa, let's have a party
Send them to the store let's buy some more
Let's have a party tonight.
The meat is on the stove
The bread is getting hot
Everybody come and take a part of mamma's shot
Let's have a party.
Whoa, let's have a party
Sending him to the store let's have some more
Let's have a party tonight.
We're gonna have a party tonight.
The lyrics to Mud's song, "Let's Have A Party", celebrate the joy and energy of good music and good company. The first verse establishes the different ways people like to dance, but the singer knows that the ultimate goal is to satisfy one's soul through moving and grooving. The chorus then calls for a party to be held, inviting everyone to come together and enjoy themselves. The second verse takes a humorous turn as the singer talks about never having kissed a bear or a raccoon, but being willing to shake a chicken (presumably a dance move) in the middle of the room. The bridge introduces a character called Honky Tonky Joe, who is welcomed inside to be a part of the festivities. The final verse talks about the food and drink being prepared, with everyone being invited to partake in "mamma's shot".
The song's lyrics are relatively simple, but they convey a strong sense of fun and celebration. There is a sense of inclusivity in the lyrics as well, as everyone is invited to the party regardless of their dance moves, their animal-kissing habits, or their relationship to Honky Tonky Joe. The song encourages listeners to let go of their inhibitions and embrace the good times. There is no deeper message or subtext in the lyrics, but the energy of the song is infectious and can put a smile on anyone's face.
