"Went To A Party" lyrics - NICK LOWE

I went to a party
It was jumping and I went for it hearty
I had on my bad suit
Started jigging to the one with the jazz flute

I told myself I wouldn't stay late
Just put my face 'round the door
Next time I looked it was coming on quarter to four
And my feet were getting sore

I went to a party
It was like an indoor safari
'Round a waterhole of Campari
And I feel alright, whoa
Yes, I feel alright now

I went to a party
I was circulating 'round pretty smartly
You could say it was high-tone
But I was representing the low zone
Yes I was

A man came up
Said "I've got all your stuff
It's just sublime
But for me your best is Propellor Time"
I said, "Where do I sign?"

I went to a party
I went to a party
I went to a party

Out of the blue they started to play the DJ's new idea
A voice in my head said
Maybe it's time to get out of here
It's very clear
It's been fun but it's time to cut along

I went to a party
I went to a party
I went to a party
I went to a party
