Lyrics
First we'll pick Priscilla up
And then we'll stop for Jane
And Mary Ellen needs a ride
We're going by her place
We're going to a party
Our friends will all be there
I got the directions
It's across the river somewhere
We rang the top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
The middle won't work, ring the one under
Priscilla's in the kitchen she's mixing drinks
She's mixing one for me, I think
And one for Mary Ellen and one for Jane
Priscilla, she knows how to use a shaker
She doesn't get up as early as a baker, uh uh
There's a muchacha, teaching me to mambo
There's my buddy Pete eyeing a bowl of Combos
Ramona and a man do a tango dip
Cheek to cheek, hip to hip, come on
The window's open, it's the heart of the summer
More people coming, looking for the number
Mary Ellen sees 'em she has a little stutter, she yells...
T-top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
The middle won't work, ring the one under, come on
Whoo
[Verse 6}
It was later, it was after two
We found a bottle of good chartreuse
The lights were green and gold, we played Latin soul
By the time Priscilla put the Al Green on
The bottle was gone
{Chorus]
On the top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
The middle won't work, ring the one under, come on
Whoo
Top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
The middle won't work ring the one under, come on
Whoo
