[Verse]
We had a good night jammin' away
There was a full moon showin' and we started to play
But in the cold light of day next mornin'
The party was over, uh uh
The party was over
We got love and we got style
And we got sex and I know, I know we got what it takes
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Why don't you come back and play?
[Chorus]
Come back and play (Hey, hey)
Come back and play
We got all night, all day
Everybody's gone away
Why don't you come back and play? (Hey hey)
Come back and play
Come back and play, come back and play
Play, play it, play it (Yeah!)
(Go get 'em, boy!)
(Let's party!)

We had a food fight in somebody's face
We were up all night singing (Singing)
And giving a chase
But in the cold light of day next morning
Everybody was hung over
[Chorus]
Hey, come back and play
(Come back and play)
Come back and play
We got all night, all day
Everybody's gone away
Why don't you come back and play? (And play)
Come back and play
We got all night
We got all day
We got all night and day, ah!
Come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back and play!
