life of the party

by brendan philip mccusker

intro

you are cordially invited

to a thing with all my friends

please don’t do anything weird in front of them

verse 1

twenty minutes early

i’ll just hang out in my car

walking in a hurry

i drop my drink on the bar

pre 1 

it’s nice to meet you

for the sixth or seventh time

oh yes, i’ll take your empty glass of wine

chorus

i’ll be dancing by myself

pulling records off the shelf

making friends with all the pets

playing madden nfl

baking cookies in the oven

saying i’m your second cousin

no you won’t believe it when you see

how i’m the life of the party

reintro

sideways glances at all my advances

oh, were you saving this seat?

my bad

i guess i’ll try by the pool

verse 2

waiting for the restroom

i’m cracking jokes in the line

pre 2

it’s nice to meet you

for the forty-second time

we were best friends for a year or so

but it must have slipped your mind

chorus

i’ll be dancing by myself

pulling records off the shelf

making friends with all the pets

playing madden nfl

baking cookies in the oven

saying i’m your second cousin

no you won’t believe it when you see

i’ll be dancing by myself

pulling records off the shelf

making friends with all the pets

playing madden nfl

burning cookies in the oven

saying i’m your second cousin

no you won’t believe it when you see

sorry i broke your new TV

but i’m the life of the party
