Buy from iTunes: Prince

This is the life 'o' the party
We gon' do it right
So U're havin' a party?
Goody 4 U
All the beautiful people gonna be there?
Yeah, that's cool (That's cool)
U know U're gonna have a good time
Cuz U got the news (U got the news)
That the life 'o' the party
Is gonna party wit U (Is gonna party wit U)

We're doing our own thing (Oh, yeah)
Till the sun come up (Until the sun come up)
Sweet Candy gon' be there (Uh huh)
Yeah, it's gon' be rough (Rough!) (Said it's gonna be rough)
She ain't got no off switch
And neither do I
When U read it in the paper 2morrow
U gon' hang your head and cry

Chorus {different backgrounds in each}:
We gonna have us a party
All are welcome 2 (Ooh!)
We ain't down with nobody
That don't party like we do (Party like we do)
Once we get it started
We got 2 go all night (Night, uh!)
This is the life 'o' the party (Oh, Lord!)
We gon' do it right

Why party in your own yard (Own yard)
When U can party in mine? (Party in mine)
All the beautiful people gonna be there
Puttin' the "I" in fine
Throw the records out my window (Oh ho!)
CDs out the door (Throw it away)
Might as well give it 2 the milkman (What?)
We don't want it no more (We don't want it no more)

Everybody can smell this funk y'all (Woo!)
Down in Atlanta, GA (What you say?)
Everybody, even 'Dre and them, know it's OK (Y'all know it's OK)
Hey, we don't need it trippin' y'all on this special day
We just callin' 2 let U know
U better not come if U can't stay, hey!

Chorus

(Oh!)
(Once we get it started)
(We got 2 go all night)
Horns!
What's it... {echoed}
What's it gonna take 2 get your booty soakin' wet?
U and me closer baby, that's a bet
I'm the life 'o' the party
As long as I got your body
Shakin' like a leaf on a tree
Cutie, come dance with me

U and me, we got mad chemistry
Don't it make U wanna holler?
Come with the life 'o' the party, y'all
We're still makin' dollars
25 years 2 life
The judge sentenced me 2 hard labor with a knife
Making cuts 4 y'all (Ho!)
Lord, keeping the party packed, fans wall 2 wall
I don't care what they say
"He don't play the hits no more
plus I thought he was gay"
But it ain't nothing if it ain't fun
My voice is getting higher
And I ain't never had my nose done
Look out!
All the purple hippies bang your heads on the one

Chorus

(Sing, ma!)
(Once we get it started)
(Hey!)
Hey!
Have us a party
All are welcome 2
And we ain't down with nobody
That don't party like we do (We ain't down with nobody don't party)
Once we get it started
We got 2 go all night (Hey ma)
This is the life 'o' the party (Ho!)
We gon' do it right
Woo!
Life 'o' the party
Hey
Life 'o' the party
