[Verse 1]
There's no one that I ever need to see
But I say yes as long as it's free
I struggle into my faded black tee

I'm on the guestlist
I'm on the guestlist
I'm on the guestlist

I said let me seal the deal, they never hear back from me
They remind me of who I never want to be

I'm on the guestlist
I'm on the guestlist
I'm on the guestlist
I'm on the guestlist
[Verse 3]

[Chorus]
I'm on the guestlist
I'm on the guestlist
I'm on the guestlist
I'm on the guestlist
I'm on the guestlist
I'm on the guestlist
I'm on the guestlist
Yeah
I'm on the guestlist

Ron Gallo: It doesn't make you think of church?
Jerry: A little bit
Unconfirmed speaker: Yes!
Ron Gallo: It makes me think of church
Jerry: Listen, you never saw the parties my sister had, with the bikers, and the van pulling up--the Scooby van with 40 hippies jumping out. And you go up in the bedroom and listen to the Janis Joplin. You can't get through the room--it's all smoked up with pot. And this stuff
