At the Platinum Party Tonight

Cake in my pockets, cookies in my coat
Free drinks slithering down my throat
One weeks worth of chicken wings
In my girlfriends purse with other things
Like soap for the bathroom, an apple for my health
Paper napkins for the shelf
The poor are sure to feed themselves
At the Platinum Party tonight

Oh, isn’t it lovely? Isn’t is grand!
For an unknown it’s the promised land
The VIPs accept the hands
Of the wanna-be’s and the also-ran
While uppity actors serve dessert
In tiny bow ties and their formal shirts
They’re out of place, but hеy, it’s work
At the Platinum Party tonight

Hooray! Hooray for Hollywood!
When the livеly arts are selling
Well, the living can be good
Hooray! Hooray for Hollywood
Bless those corporate chiefs
Kiss their corporate seats
Cause’ life is sweet
When we can eat and eat and eat

Hooray! Hooray for Hollywood!
(Though we didn’t buy the record
And we read it wasn’t good)
One day! One day! Oh, knock on wood!
One day this all could be for you...
But probably me!
And we’ll drink and drink and drink and drink!

Tomorrow we’ll be back with the mob
Making minimum wage at our retail job
New acquaintances forgot
We’ll be bottom
They’ll be top
But tonight, they love us!
“Nice to see you, my dear!”
They think we’re somebody cause’ we’re here
Guzzling the wine and the shrimp and beer
At the Platinum Party tonight!
