Crash The Party

Richard Thompson

We were walking down the street, we were trying to pretend

We were wild, wild boys on a wild weekend

We were down in the dumps and we didn't have to try hard

Our old town was just like a graveyard



We come around a corner and what do we hear

Oh rock and roll music coming loud and clear

The joint is jumping, no hesitation

We're all giving ourselves free invitation



Ah, we crashed the party, oh, we crashed the party

You gotta put up a fight on a Saturday night

So we crashed the party



There was Monks and Eddie, and Weasel and Freddy

There was the gang of four, we beat down the door

Oh we crashed the party



The fence was electric, the dogs were mean

It was just like Stalag 17

When we rung on the bell they come for the business

So we got while the getting was good



Yeah, we crashed the party, oh, we crashed the party

You gotta put up a fight on a Saturday night

So we crashed the party



Oh, we crashed the party, yeah, we crashed the party

It would have been a sin if we didn't get in

So we crashed the party



We did the alligator and the mashed potato

Oh, we cracked some heads and broke some hearts

Oh we crashed the party



We got in the cellar, or just about

We got right in but we couldn't get out

Weasel got stuck in the bathroom window

And pushing didn't do any good



Yeah, we crashed the party, oh, we crashed the party

You gotta put up a fight on a Saturday night

So we crashed the party



Well we got on the roof of the house next door

Jumped down twenty nine feet to the floor

Landed in the arms of an amazon queen

Dancing with her Johnny Be Good



Yeah, we crashed the party, oh, we crashed the party

You gotta put up a fight on a Saturday night

So we crashed the party

You gotta put up a fight on a Saturday night

So we crashed the party

Hey, you gotta put up a fight on a Saturday night

So we crashed the party
