Parties In The U.S.A.

(专辑： I, Jonathan - 1992)

Hi everybody! I'm from the 60's
The time of Louie Louie and little Latin Lupe Lou
And I know we can't have those times back again
But we can have parties like there were then
We need more parties in the USA
We need more parties in the USA

Could there be block parties 'bout which I don't know?
Maybe they're in neighborhoods where I don't go
Could there be all these parties down some little lane
With potato chips sitting there and guitar playing?
We need more parties in the USA

Well, my friends were having a party, 'round about 9:00
Down in Huntington beach when the police knocked
Well, my friends were just quiet now
They were just drinking coffee and talking
But the officer said someone called up complaining
Everybody get walking
He said...

Go home, go home, go home, go home, he said...
Go home, go home, go home, and that's no good for...

Parties in the USA
That's no good for pa-pa-pa-pa Lupe Lou
No, no good for hang on sloopy, sloopy hang on

So people are staying home more, not having fun
A cold cold era has begun, has begun
Now things were bad before, there was lots of loneliness
But in 1965 things were not like this

When we had hang on sloopy, sloopy hang on
Oh, oh, yeah, and pa-pa-pa-pa Lupe Lou
Shake it shake it shake it Lupe, alright

Well, could there be block parties of which I know not?
Wild beach parties around some open flame?
I know there's got to be parties, I bet there's a lot
But the USA has changed somehow that I can't name
He said...

Go home, go home, go home, go home, he said...
Go home, go home, go home, and that's no good for...

Parties in the USA
No pa-pa-pa-pa Lupe Lou
Oh yeah

People are moving to California who hate the beach and things
I think they'd rather watch TV than hear a real person sing
Of course nowadays at parties you got louder stereo equipment
So now if the parties too loud it's like a radioactive shipment
I say nowadays at parties for example you got louder stereo bass
So now if the things too loud it's like a toxic clean up case
Well, nowadays at parties, well, they've got louder stereos right?
So now if it's too loud it's like a noxious chemical site

Well, parties in the USA. he said...
Go home, go home, go home, oh yeah
Parties in the USA

But these friends of mine in Huntington beach, yeah!
They weren't loud when the officers entered, no!
Like and these officers, man, they weren't mellow
I mean they were so un-centered. they said...

Go home, go home, go home, that's no good for...
Parties in the USA
We need more pa-pa-pa-pa Lupe Lou
We need more shake it shake it shake it Lupe
We need more parties yeah, in the USA
Alright, yeah, shake it up, shake it up, oh
