[Chorus]
This is the life o' the party
We gonna do it right

So you're havin' a party?
Goody for you
All the beautiful people gonna be there?
Yeah, that's cool
You know you're gonna have a good time cause you got the news
That the life o' the party is gonna party with you

We're doing our own thing
Until the sun'll come up
Sweet Candy gonna be there
Yeah, it's gonna be rough
She ain't got no off switch
And neither do eye
When you read it in the paper tomorrow
You gonna hang you're head and cry

[Chorus]

We gonna have us a party
All are welcome to
We ain't down with nobody
That don't party like we do
Once we get it started
We got to go all night
We gonna have us a party
We gonna do it right!
So you having a party?
Goody for you
All the beautiful people
Gonna be there, yeah that's cool

Why party in your own yard
When you can party in mine?
All the beautiful people gonna be there
Puttin' the "I" in fine
Throw the records out my window
CD's out the door
Might as well give it to the milkman
We don't want it no more

Everybody can smell this funk y'all
Down in Atlanta GA
Everybody, even Dre and Em, know it's OK
Hey, we don't need any trippin' y'all on this special day
We just callin' to let you know
You better not come if you can't stay

[Chorus]

What's it gonna take to get you're booty soakin' wet?
You and me closer baby, that's a bet

Eye'm the life of the party
As long as eye got your body
Shaking like a leaf on a tree
Cutie come dance with me
You and me, we got mad chemistry
Don't it make you want to holler?
Come with the life of the party, y'all
We're still making dollars
Twenty five years to life
The judge sentenced me to
