Party
written by: Jak Locke

version 1:
from 200 Proof: Wait, What (September 30th 1997) (4:00)
So I was at this party, it was going really lame
A bunch of dudes just eating pizza, wondering why we came
When suddenly I get a great idea from being bored
Ducked in a room that had a phone and quickly shut the door

I called my friend and said "Emergency,
Call every girl we know, get some whiskey,
Get James to bring his DJ shit, and take down this address
Then you get down here too and bring the rest"

About an hour later, there's a knock at the front door
Over the next ten minutes, bout another hundred more
The house was packed with people who had brought all of their friends
So when it really started's bout the time it reached the end

There's more booze here than anyone'd believe
But it's hard to drink when you can't even breathe
And more people kept coming til no one could move at all
Some party now, pinned up against the wall

I find it difficult to think about it
I only meant for ten or twenty more (twenty more)
Will anyone believe me now? I doubt it
I really ought to go but not before I get liquor

Some guy just kicked the door in cuz somebody hit his car
Now everybody's fighting like we're in some shitty bar
I find my friend and James, we grab some booze from the display
There goes another window, whose house was this anyway?

Somehow we made it to the car outside
Three girls jumped in the back and said "let's ride"
The cops showed up as we pulled off, and we all waved goodbye
To the party that turned riot when it died
I wonder if they'll ever figure why

Over the next ten minutes, about another hundred more
