Come to a Party

Lyrics

[BIRDLACE, spoken] Well, I better shove off soon. I gotta get to a party Say, maybe you'd like to go with me [ROSE, spoken] A party? Oh well, I— [BIRDLACE, spoken] If you don't wanna go, just say so [ROSE, spoken] Well—it's just—I mean, I just met you [BIRDLACE] Well, you know my birthday now Showed you my middle name See, I'm an open book, have a look This ain't no pickup game I heard your pretty voice Then we saw eye to eye On all that music stuff, not on fluff We didn't have to try Now isn't that rare? That kind of connection So why not come to a party with me? Why not come to this party? A five piece band I'll take your hand, Rose And twirl you around Buy you a drink Don't stop to think Say "Yes" Come to a party with me Just say "Yes" [ROSE, spoken] I dunno, Eddie [BIRDLACE, spoken] My old man's always saying, you can't steal second base with your foot on first. Sometimes you gotta gamble, Rose. You can bet on me (sung) Born in Buffalo To humble Christian folks My old man raised me right, real polite No tellin' dirty jokes A Wallly Cleaver type Ate every brussels sprout My mama's pride 'n joy, golden boy Your av'rage Eagle Scout Now look in these eyes They ain't gonna hurt you So why not come to this party with me? C'mon, it's just a party A great excuse To cut it loose, Rose And do whatcha feel (spoken) Hey (sung) Just for a night No holdin' tight Let go Let's go Come to a party with me (spoken) Gonna be a real nice time, c'mon, whaddaya say? [ROSE] If I go Well, ya know Ma would be here on her own She would die I could lie I couldn't lie to my— If I go She would know Look, I'm not ready We're closing And Eddie I've still gotta work C'mon don't be a jerk Give it back, Eddie stop! Look, I still gotta mop Plus I don't really drink See I really don't think I can come [BIRDLACE] Come to this party with me Look, you can't miss this party [ROSE] I can't just get up and go [BIRDLACE] You'll meet my friends And when it ends, Rose I'll race ya right home [ROSE] Mama needs me around [BIRDLACE] Or why cap the night? We'll go grab a bite [ROSE] I'd like to, but I... [BIRDLACE] Table for two Just me and you (Eddie, c'mon) Candles and wine (I got work to do! Please!) Hands intertwine— [MAMA] Rose! It's closing time now. Better run along [BIRDLACE] You'll miss out on one helluva time Should be one rousin' party Well, I'm glad we met I gotta get, Rose But gosh you seem swell Still, it's a shame I thought If you came, who knows Maybe we coulda— (spoken) Have a good night now [ROSE, spoken] Eddie, wait! I'm going with you, okay? Just lemme run upstairs and change [BIRDLACE, spoken] Okay! [ROSE, spoken] Okay! [BIRDLACE] What a gem What a pick in a pinch What a girl for this party You'll waltz her in You're set to win Once ya twirl her around She'll be a smash Score ya some cash Off to a party with you
