Party party
There's got to be good times
Party party
We're gonna show you how
Party party
We're gonna give you good times
Get ready, baby
'Cause here they come now
Get ready, baby
'Cause here they come now
Do do do do
Do do do do

[LORRELL, spoken]
Honey, have a drink. You know we're celebrating.

[JIMMY, spoken]
No, baby, you go ahead. You've been on already.

[LORRELL, spoken]
Oh, but Jimmy it's our anniversary. Don't you remеmber? So sit down, baby. Let me givе you a kiss for each year. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Seven years of unmarried life.

[JIMMY]
Now, baby, don't tell me you're gonna start again!

[LORRELL]
But Jimmy, we gotta work this problem out!

[JIMMY]
Baby, I can't take it if you start again
Now why are you complaining
Always picking, always blaming?
I've got problems with Curtis
I've got problems with songs
My whole career is going wrong

[LORRELL]
You're always talking about your career
Well tonight I want to talk about us

[JIMMY]
Baby, it's your Jimmy
Baby, it's your Jimmy
Your Jimmy never lied
I never lied to you
Baby, it was something you already knew

[LORRELL]
Yes, I knew you were married when I met you
Told myself that's the way it's got to be
But after all these years, the best of my life
My life has become a catastrophe, yeah

[LORRELL]
'Cause sittin' home waitin' on a man who ain't comin'
Ain't no party, no no no
I been sittin' here wishin' I had some ambition
To get me through
That wasn't always you

[LORRELL]
Don't I give you good lovin', sweet daddy
Every time she lets you slip away?
You're gonna tell her now that you love me
And you're gonna tell her today

[LORRELL]
'Cause sittin' home waitin' on a man who ain't comin'
Ain't no party, no no no
I been sittin' here wishin' I had some ambition
To get me through
That wasn't always you

[LORRELL]
Where's my party?
Where is my party?
Where's the champagne?
Where's the flowers?
I'm all dressed up in my party dress
And I been sittin' here for hours
And this ain't no party
No no no, it ain't no party, baby
Now it's been seven years
And it don't take a smarty
To realize
That even though my man throws confetti in my face
It still don't make it no party
This ain't no party
It ain't no party, baby!

[JIMMY]
Now, baby, I love you
You know that I do
But, baby, tell me what do you want me to do?

[LORRELL]
Marry me!
Oh, Jimmy
Marry me!

[JIMMY]
But, baby, I'm married
That is something you know
Now there's just no way she'll let me go

[LORRELL]
You got to tell her you wanna be free
Jimmy, tell that woman you're in love with me

[JIMMY]
I'll tell her, Lorrell

[LORRELL, spoken]
When?

[JIMMY]
Just a little more time
And, baby, we'll work it out just fine

[LORRELL]
The time has gone and now I see
Jimmy Jimmy, you don't love me

[JIMMY]
I love you, Lorrell
You know that I do

[LORRELL, spoken]
You do?

[JIMMY]
But right now, I got a show to do
I got a show to do

[LORRELL]
Where do we go from here?
Seven years and where do we go?
