“Thirsty” is the 5th track on AJR’s full-length debut album, “Living Room”. As Ryan Met explained in the Spotify Track by Track Commentary, AJR originally began writing it for another artist, but they realized that the yodelling was such a unique idea that they wanted to use it for an AJR song.
[Chorus]
Thirsty, thirsty Thursday
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Thirsty, thirsty Thursday
[Verse 1]
I'm up and I raise my cup, singing everything is gold
Crew neck and a white blank check
I'll be moving on my own (Yo-del-lay ho)
I walked on sippin' on that love
It's another bumpy road
But I'm up and I raise my cup and I wanna take her home
(Yo-del-lay ho)
[Pre-Chorus]
I run my mouth
Don't got a lot to say
Girl on fire
Could burn my heart away
We are young
But we can make it rain
[Chorus]
It's thirsty, thirsty Thursday
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Thirsty, thirsty Thursday
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Thirsty, thirsty Thursday
[Verse 2]
I'm up and I raise my cup, see 'em bouncin' on the floor
Perfume in a hotel room
We go bouncin' back for more (Yo-del-lay ho)
Oh, I love sippin' on that fun
It's a feeling we adore
But I'm up and I raise my cup and I wanna take her home
(Yo-del-lay ho)
[Pre-Chorus]
I run my mouth
Don't got a lot to say
Girl on fire
Could burn my heart away
We are young
But we can make it rain
[Chorus]
It's thirsty, thirsty Thursday
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Thirsty, thirsty Thursday
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho (Thursday)
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho (Yo-yo-yo-del-lay ho)
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Thirsty, thirsty Thursday
[Bridge]
We're so thirsty
Can't no one stop me
Keep on bouncin'
Like no one's watching
We're so thirsty
Can't no one stop me
Keep on bouncin'
Like no one's watching
[Chorus]
Thirsty, thirsty Thursday
(Thirsty, thirsty Thursday)
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho
Thirsty, thirsty Thursday
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho (We're so thirsty)
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho (Can't no one stop me)
Yo-del-lay, yo-del-lay-ee ho (Keep on bouncin')
Thirsty, thirsty Thursday
