Life Of The Party Lyrics - Singles - Charlie Robison

Well they call me the life of the party 

They call her the belle of the ball 

Well we start before anybody 

And I promise we'll outlast them all 

Well it started when I was in high school 

My mom and my dad taught me well 

A bottle of wine at Thanksgivin' 

And a Valium when grandma raised hell 

So I had some champagne at a wedding 

I believe that they called it 'Cold Duck' 

And they girl I'd been eying all evenin' 

She took me round back and we sucked down the rest of that bottle 

And things really started to click 

Well we kissed on the boxes of liquor 

And she reached down and grabbed her some dickle 

And added some cola 

Far be it for me should I pass 

For I thought that if I drank another 

I'd certainly need me some Aspirin 

On the next mornin' 

I'd tried not to make me a sound 

'Cause the girl who was sleepin' beside me 

Had gained herself two hundred 

Pounding on my bedroom window 

My dad yelled to jump out of bed 

But she woke up from all the commotion 

Insisting she give me some headlines 

She'd read in the paper 

She said it had been yesterday 

They said if you use moderation 

Our mornings could all be this way 

Well they call me the life of the party 

They call her the belle of the ball 

Well we start before anybody 

And I promise we'll outlast them all
