[00:19.37] When he turned 34 but who's counting
[00:23.96] He couldn't find anyone who wanted to party
[00:27.61] So he walked around a playground with a bag of Mickey's Tallboys
[00:32.39] And he heard the sound of laughter and he followed it for fifteen blocks
[00:38.07] There was a house between Mavis and Water
[00:41.76] They were out on the porch, they were inside playing quarters
[00:46.35] And he said, "Don't you know the game Kazaam? It's a better game,
[00:51.33] You point your elbow at someone and say somebody else's name
[00:56.01] And it alternates whose turn it is and if you lose you drink."
[01:00.40] They said "Man, you really make us think,
[01:03.79] yeah you make us think and so:
[01:06.08] Tonight we're gonna be the party
[01:10.98] We will party all night long
[01:15.56] We are the party generation
[01:19.05] So have a seat, what's in the bag?
[01:21.24] Party on."
[01:23.24]
[01:25.03] Round about one or two it started winding down
[01:29.32] And he knew what they needed -- they needed donuts
[01:33.40] So they walked out to Krispy Kruller's All Nite Sugar Palace
[01:38.19] It was there at the doorway he said, "Oh, well maybe not."
[01:43.67] Inside there were six women talking
[01:47.75] They were the most justified angry ex-girlfriends
[01:52.44] And they swivelled around slowly like they saw something bad
[01:56.92] Through the eyes in the back of their heads
[02:00.01] Like he always knew they had
[02:01.91] And they said, "What a coincidence," and "Hey, you're just the man,
[02:06.29] We were saying that you did the best you could
[02:09.58] You're fine, we understand and so--
[02:12.08] Tonight we're gonna be the party
[02:16.86] We will party all night long
[02:21.55] We are the party generation
[02:24.74] You were the best but we'll survive
[02:27.43] Party on."
[02:28.86] Yeah yeah yeah yeah
[02:33.44] Oh yeah yeah yeah
[02:38.23] Oh oh oh
[02:42.32]
[03:05.29] In the morning they sent him home with a designated driver
[03:10.07] And he lay down and thought about the whole night
[03:14.66] And he looked up at the photo that he'd got at a junk shop
[03:19.54] It was only fifty cents but he framed it and everything
[03:25.02] It was the kind of party that you hope never ends
[03:29.71] The lucky party boy surrounded by his friends
[03:33.50] And they were all in pointed hats
[03:36.19] Caught in a rebel birthday shout
[03:38.68] And he was at the candles with his mom there to help him out
[03:43.86] There was a lot that you could learn if you lay near them
[03:47.75] Like if you listened you could hear them and he could hear them
[03:52.04] They say:
[03:53.03] Tonight we're gonna be the party
[03:58.02] We will party all night long
[04:02.40] We are the party generation
[04:05.99] So lift your head lift your head
[04:08.66] Party on
[04:09.90] Tonight we're gonna be the party
[04:14.79] We will party all night long
[04:19.18] We are the party generation
[04:22.67] So lift your head and blow 'em out
[04:25.04] Yeah
[04:26.04] Yeah yeah yeah yeah
[04:31.03] Oh yeah yeah yeah
[04:35.81] Oh oh oh
[04:42.87] Tonight we're gonna be the party
[04:47.65] We will party all night long
[04:52.14] We are the party generation
[04:55.63] So lift your head and blow 'em out
[04:58.12] Party on
