LET'S PARTY
The Memorials Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He knows just where the party is at.
I am talking good times that care,
Free kind is hard to find.
Call Jamie
And Johnny is coming too.
Mark is a maker,
Watch out for those jewels!
Because when you go party with the whiskey boys,
You are cool, let us party!
Might as well see this as dranking school!
Let us party!
Last night Jack kissed me
And Jamie layed me down.
Johnny got jealous
He went looking for something to pound.
Do not hate me!
We are still having fun!
Whiskey goes crazy I have got room for everyone!
Because when you go party with the whiskey boys,
You are cool, let us party!
Might as well see this as dranking school!
Let us party!
Go party with the whiskey boys,
You are cool, let us party!
Might as well see this as dranking school!
Let us party!
Because when you go party with the whiskey boys,
You are cool, let us party!
Might as well see this as dranking school!
Let us party!
Because when you go party with the whiskey boys,
You are cool, let us party!
Might as well see this as dranking school!
Let us party!
Go party with the whiskey boys,
You are cool, let us party!
Might as well see this as dranking school!
Let us party!
The lyrics to The Memorials' song "Let's Party" are about the fun times that come with indulging in alcohol and the company of friends. Jack is the one who knows where the party is at, and the singer mentions that it's hard to find the kind of carefree good times that they're experiencing. The song then goes on to name various people who are joining the party, with a warning to watch out for Mark and his jewels.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the party involves heavy drinking and some sexual tension between the singer and Jack, and also between the singer and Jamie. Johnny, however, gets jealous and starts looking for someone to "pound."
Overall, the theme of the song is about letting loose and having a good time, with a focus on the wild antics and excesses that can come with drunken revelry. It's a celebration of living "in the moment" and not worrying about the consequences.
