The Party

(álbum: Manhattan Tower - 1956)

Gayety often found its way into my tower
Night after night it was filled with happy people
Thin happy people
Tall happy people
Short happy people
Old and young
Many races from many places

My tower was filled with nice neighborly sounds
Phones ringing, knocks on the door
Many conversations competing madly for attention
And the heartwarming sound of people laughing out loud

We talked mostly about New York
The concerts we had attended (The humidity)
The plays we had seen (The humidity)
The musicals on Broadway and (The humidity)

We had artists, we had musicians
And we had a wonderful waiter
A waiter named Noah

Noah (Noah), where is Noah (where is Noah)
Where is Noah (where is Noah) here comes Noah now

Empty the ashtrays
Get out some ice
'Cause we're having a party and the people are nice
Clear off the table
Order some chow
'Cause, we're having a party, right now!

Empty the ashtrays
Get out some ice
'Cause we're having a party and the people are nice
Clear off the table
Order some chow
'Cause, we're having a party, right now!

(We're having a party)
Empty the ashtrays
(We're having a party)
Get out some ice
('Cause, we're having a party
And the people are nice, nice, nice)
Clear off the table
(Clear off the table, order some chow)
'Cause, we're having a party, right now!
