Parties Lyrics

Get your kicks and hit the ritz
The world is full of hypocrites
Babbledibo bang gobbelty gook
All the caesars rule the pie
And the chairman ate his tie
Now I'm gonna die

Here's to the parties
They'll be the end of me
My time is waning
But I'm going out blazing

Herod thrived, Jesus died
Cortés got rich and Schubert poor
Sobriety is such a bore
Home of Virgil, Donald Duck
And Napoleon lost his sock
Come on let's rock around the clock Here's to the parties
They'll be the end of me
I'm going to hell
But I do it well

Philistine, grand smuggery
Bigoted arch bigotry
Nothing's new in history
Nero may have killed his mom
And burned Rome for his hall
But he sure could throw a ball

Here's to the parties
They'll be the end of me
Let's go down together
Nothing's forever

Dancing on the precipice
Surfing the wave of the abyss
