The Party's Not Over

The party's not over 'cause the liquor is gone

The neighbours complained, oh the cops have been called

Everyone's sleeping but I'm still awake

The party's not over till I hear you say we're going home

The bottle is resting where one sip was slung

The dance floor was empty, just a memory of fun

The ice will be melting before morning breaks

The party's not over till I hear you say we're going home

Clearly dawns another day

I must ask to make my way

I dress and drink and eat

Groom my fingers and my feet

Learn a little here and there

Weep and laugh and sweat and sprain

Hear a song and watch a stage

Read some words upon a page

For I walk as blind as wool

Back to bed, it's time to go

The music has faded, the ashtray's been filled

Your head may be aching, but one day be still

Restless and sober, but we all gotta stay

'Cause the party's not over till I hear you say we're going home

And, um, happiness is, uh, being in Hollywood, um

Having a lot of fur coats and jewelry

Having a lot of beautiful things

And, uh, giving happiness to other people

And, uh, we're going to a lot of parties
