Lyrics

HOUSE PARTY

VERSE 1

CAN?T GO TO THE MOVIES

I AIN?T GOT THE FARE

I?D LIKE TO MAKE THE DISCO

BUT I HAVEN'T GOT A THING TO WEAR



I?M GONNA GET MY STEREO

AND CALL UP EVERYONE

COM? ON OVER TO MY HOUSE

AND LETS HAVE SOME FUN



CHORUS

GONNA HAVA HOUSE PARTY

GONNA HAVA HOUSE PARTY

GONNA HAVA HOUSE PARTY

GONNA HAVA HOUSE PARTY

EVERYBODY COM?ON GET DOWN



VERSE2

BRING YOUR OWN BOTTLE

OR WHAT EVER TURNS YOU ON

YOU CAN BRING YOUR OLE LADY

OR YOUR OTHER NUMBER ONE



I?VE GOT ALL OF THE LATEST JAMS

AND A GREAT BIG PLACE TO DANCE

WE MIGHT DISTURB THE NEIGHBORS

BUT I?LL TAKE THAT CHANCE



CHORUS

GONNA HAVA HOUSE PARTY

GONNA HAVA HOUSE PARTY

GONNA HAVA HOUSE PARTY

GONNA HAVA HOUSE PARTY

EVERYBODY COM?ON GET DOWN







VERSE 3

IT?S NOT THE WEEKEND

AND I CAN?T STAY UP TOO LATE

I HATE TO STOP THE PARTY

BUT I GOTTA BE TO WORK AT EIGHT

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE HOUSE WAS FULL

OF ALL OF THESE PRETTY CHICKS

MAYBE I?LL GET LUCKY

I?LL JUST CALL IN SICK



CHORUS

GONNA HAVA HOUSE PARTY

GONNA HAVA HOUSE PARTY

GONNA HAVA HOUSE PARTY

GONNA HAVA HOUSE PARTY

EVERYBODY COM?ON GET DOWN
