[Verse 1]
I found an empty house
In my neighborhood
I knew that we shouldn't
But I thought we could
Knew it wouldn't be hard
To slide into the backyard
Called all my friends and slipped
A hundred to the guard
We turned on the radio
And had a party on the patio
[Verse 2]
Betty's in the sauna
And she's getting kind of hot
Mary's in the icebox
Wishing she was not
Connie's in the whirlpool
Jimmy's trying to be cool
Libby's in the bushes
Because she's nobody's fool
We turned the lights down low
And had a party on the patio
[Instrumental Break 0:53-1:41]
[Verse 3]
Heard the cops are coming
So we tried to jump the fence
Mary didn't make it
And we haven't seen her since
Connie had another drink
Jimmy simply couldn't think
Billy G was passed out
Underneath the sink
But everybody's gonna show
For another party on the patio
[Instrumental Outro 1:57-2:49]
