well this is my back yard - my back gate
I hate to start my parties late
here´s the party cart - ain´t that great?
that ain´t the best part baby - just wait
that a genuine weathervane - it moves with the breeze
portable hammok baby - who needs trees
it´s casual entertaining - we aim to please
at my parties

check out the shingles - it´s brand new
excuse me while I mingle - hi, how are you
hey everybody - let me give you a toast
this one´s for me - the host with the most

it´s getting a trifle colder - step inside my home
that´s a brass toilet tissue holder with its own telephone
that´s a musical doorbell - it don´t ring, I ain´t kiddin´
it plays america the beautiful and tie a yellow ribbon

boy, this punch is a trip - it´s o.k. in my book
here, take a sip - maybe a little heavy on the fruit
ah, here comes the dip - you may kiss the cook
let me show you honey - it´s easy - look
you take a fork and spike ´em - say, did you try these?
so glad you like ´em - the secret´s in the cheese
it´s casual entertaining - we aim to please
at my parties

now don´t talk to me about the polar bear
don´t talk to me about the ozone layer
ain´t much of anything these days, even the air
they´re running out of rhinos - what do I care?
let´s hear it for the dolphin - let´s hear it for the trees
ain´t running out of nothing in my deep freeze
it´s casual entertaining - we aim to please
at my parties
