What a Party Lyrics

Where was Jodie when the lights went out?
Standing in the corner shouting "Shout, sister, shout!"

What a party! Lordy, Lordy!
(Big fat guy, oh man, he sure could wail away!)
What a party! Lordy, Lordy!
(Big fat guy, oh man, he sure could play!)

The girl wore a dress with no shoes on
The big tenor man really blew his horn

What a party! Lordy, Lordy!
(Big fat guy, oh man he sure could wail away!)
What a party! Lordy, Lordy!
(Big fat guy, oh man, he sure could play!)

Somebody called a cop about half past four
He really just couldn't get through that door

What a party! Lordy, Lordy!
(Big fat guy, oh man he sure could wail away!)
What a party! Lordy, Lordy!
(Big fat guy, oh man, he sure could play!)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
