Ain’t No Party

[THE FIVE TUXEDOS]
Don't be so hard on us
Don't be so hard on us
Look at all we've done
We can get back what we had
And all we got to do
Is take some time off and have some fun
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do

[ANNOUNCER, spoken]
And now: the National Democratic Fund Raiser continues with the Five Tuxedos.

Get ready, baby
'Cause here they come now
Get ready, baby

[LORRELL, spoken]
Baby

[JIMMY, spoken]
Yeah?

[LORRELL, spoken]
Here, let's have a drink. You know we're celebrating.

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

[LORRELL, spoken]
But babe, it's our anniversary. Let me give 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]
Oh, but Jimmy, we gotta work this problem out!

[JIMMY]
Baby, I can't take it if you start again
Why are you complainin'
Always pickin', always blamin'?
I got problems with Curtis
I 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

[LORRELL]
I know

[JIMMY]
Baby, it's your Jimmy

[LORRELL]
I said I know that

[JIMMY]
Your Jimmy never lied
I never lied to you
Baby, this was something you already knew

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

[JIMMY, spoken]
A catastrophe? I'm a catastrophe to you?

[LORRELL]
'Cause sittin' home waitin' on a man who ain't comin'
Ain't no party, no no no
I'm 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]
Oh, cause sittin' home waitin' on a man who ain't comin', child
Ain't no party, no no no
I'm 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, baby?
Where's the champagne?
Where's the flowers?
I'm all dressed up in my party dress
And I been sittin' here for hours
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, baby!
Oh, it ain't no party, baby!

I'm gettin' to the point of needin' someone to soothe me
But you can't find the time
Now I know you got that other woman all up in your life
Well, maybe it's about time I put another man in mine
Because you ain't makin' me satisfied

[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!
Jimmy, please
Marry me!

[JIMMY]
But, baby, I'm married
That's something you know
And 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]
Now 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
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?
