This is partytime
And we're all having so much fun
This is partytime
I could look at all the girls that are in this room
This is partytime
I could think of what would happen if one took me home
This is partytime
I think I'll have another of thoseYou always act so stupid
You always talk so dumb
But this is partytime
And you've got to say its better than a war
This is partytime
And its better than a cold bath with someone you dislike
This is partytime
And its good to drink for free when you haven't any money
This is partytime
Oh, she might just possibly take me homeBut she always talks so foolish
She always acts so dumb
Its only partytimeThis is partytime
And its not polite for you to muck around
This is partytime
Naw, you know you'll only go home in a taxi and disgrace
This is partytime
And you know you won't be spending it here again
This is partytime
It's an exceptional way to make friendsBut you always act so foolish
You always talk so dumb
But this is only partytime
It doesn't matter anymore
It isn't funny anymore
It's only partytime
Oh lord have mercy on all our souls

11Oct2009 11:02 AM (13 years 166 days ago)I bought a used copy of "The Gift of Music" in the late 90s and then I spent years gathering as much JBC music as I could. Unfortunately most of the albums were (and still are) very rare. I've really appreciated the two Vinyl Japan reprints. Is there any chance to see "Sex and Travel" reprinted sooner or later? Who knows.
"Partytime" was one of my favourite songs in my late teenage years and it definitely summarizes my feelings about meeting people at parties. It also features some stellar guitar playing by Max which was very inspiring to somebody (sort of) learning guitar. Thanks a lot. -
