My Parties

(album: On Every Street - 1991)

Well this is my back yard my back gate
I hate to start my parties late
Here's the party cart ain't that great?
That ain't the best part baby just wait
That a genuine weathervane it moves with the breeze
Portable hammok baby who needs trees
It's casual entertaining we aim to please
At my parties

Check out the shingles it's brand new
Excuse me while I mingle hi, how are you
Hey everybody let me give you a toast
This one's for me the host with the most

It's getting a trifle colder step inside my home
That's a brass toilet tissue holder with its own telephone
That's a musical doorbell it don't ring, I ain't kidding
It plays america the beautiful and tie a yellow ribbon

Boy, this punch is a trip it's o.k. in my book
Here, take a sip maybe a little heavy on the fruit
Ah, here comes the dip you may kiss the cook
Let me show you honey it's easy look
You take a fork and spike 'em say, did you try these?
So glad you like 'em the secret's in the cheese
It's casual entertaining we aim to please
At my parties

Now don't talk to me about the polar bear
Don't talk to me about the ozone layer
Ain't much of anything these days, even the air
They're running out of rhinos what do I care?
Let's hear it for the dolphin let's hear it for the trees
Ain't running out of nothing in my deep freeze
It's casual entertaining we aim to please
At my parties
