Lyrics

  1. I know how Mister Romeo felt about Miss Juliet
    I’m in love, and let me state
    It knock’d me dizzy, but boy! it’s great
    It’s somebody I hardly know
    She’s a party I just met
    Just the type that makes ’em stare
    There she is right over there

Chorus
Well! well! well! Speaking of
Someone that I sure could love
Here’s that party now in person
Isn’t she nice and fresh?
Not a picture in the flesh
Here’s that party now in person
Those I’ve had have been wrong parties somehow
I’m so glad I’ve got the right party now
Well! well! well! If someday
I love, honor and obey
Here’s that party now in person

  1. I know now why Mark Antony fell for Cleo of the Nile
    I’m sure he was not to blame
    For this sweet party I’d do the same
    Look at that personality
    Get the figure and the smile
    Look her over, gentlemen
    While I tell the world again
