This party is about to
This party is about to
This party is about to
This party is about to
This party is about to get off to a great start
there's signs pointed at my front door in my front yard
There's ample parking right around the corner at the hardware store
just buy some gum and leave the gum receipt up on your dashboard
Turned on all my lights, emptied the sink in my bathroom
water company said they'd get it back on real soon
good cuz we got instant coffee, noodles, and some silly straws
i left earplugs & sleeping pills in my neighbors' mailbox
All my friends'll be outside my door any minute
we'll put a soda bottle down on the floor and we'll spin it
and whichever dude the bottle points at will get a digit
of the number that unlocks the little box of raffle tickets
& the winner of the raffle will go head to head in battle
with the first person to memorize this monologue from Before Sunrise
ENDURANCE CHALLENGE we'll stack books up on their outstretched arms
while remaining guests calibrate and test all of my smoke alarms
OK the novel writing workshop's in the back under the trampoline
so gym club's practicing their jumps down in the library
we may have to reschedule choosing worst dressed & crowning the fool
since everybody's late right now but when they get here you know that
this party is about to
this party is about to
this party is about to
this party is about to
Everybody's gonna be here in a minute!
Everybody's gonna be here!
