let's party and get on bad - finished

"let's party ..." is the third song by Alexander and Stefan that I've written the lyrics for, two or three more songs are supposed to follow.

Using dummy text as a template helped preventing a writer's block when it came to writing the bridge. I was able to re-write the text rather quickly. I had to add one syllable in the second last line of the bridge. But that seems acceptable since there was supposed to be a long note that can easily be replaced with two short ones. And you might note that I actually used ideas from my scratch text, even the single word "anyway".

Two lines might prove slightly tongue twisting when Jennifer will sing them because the melody is very fast: "make small steps or strides", and "be dancing slow and close ".

Anyway, here is the complete text. You can also find it on my page for my latest additions of my lyrics site together with all the other new stuff.

when the work is done
or when school is out
it's time for some fun
and we sing and shout
no more drudgery
and no foreign rule
no indignity
no more playin' the fool

but we have to hurry up because the night gets close
we clean up, make up, getting ready for the show
got to get started, folks, because there is no time to lose
in no time we're ready and we are all geared up to go

let us party on the beach
let us party in the streets
let us party every night
let us set the nights alight
let us feel the throbbing beat
let us feel the body heat
let's be hot or raving mad
let's be free and get on bad

take the bus or train
come by foot or car
or even come by plane
if it is too far
you can walk or ride
take the motorbike
make small steps or strides
just come as you like

but you have to hurry up because the night gets close
just clean up, make up, getting ready for the show
now do get started, folks, because there is no time to lose
in no time you're ready and you are all geared up to go

let us party on the beach
let us party in the streets
let us party every night
let us set the nights alight
let us feel the throbbing beat
let us feel the body heat
let's be hot or raving mad
let's be free and get on bad

we will dance
and we'll
be dancing slow and close
or revel like crazy
we'll have fun and dance the night away
anyway
we will dance
and we
can be boisterous and wild
what ever the night will bring we
are going to enjoy our time

let us party on the beach
let us party in the streets
let us party every night
let us set the nights alight
let us feel the throbbing beat
let us feel the body heat
let's be hot or raving mad
let's be free and get on bad
