Party People - Solomon Burke

There’s a party going on across the hall

I hear the music coming on through my wall

And I know that my baby’s over in there

'Cause I know my baby’s voice, anywhere

Out there with the party people

Out there having a natural ball

Over there with the party people

Having a good time

And that ain’t all

I’d love to join the crowd

And be the one that holler out loud

But I’m really not in the groove

But I’d love to stick around

And get in that mood

Out there with the party people

Out there with that soulful set

Out there with the party people

Hold on baby

You see I ain’t ready yet

Got to get in the happening crowd

When I’m feeling sad and lonely

There’s no place a peaceful man can rest

If you’re not in the soulful mood

Got to get on my dancing shoes

You see tonight, I’m gonna dance away my blues

And I know my baby’s over there

'Cause I know my baby’s voice, anywhere

Out there with the party people

Out there having a natural ball

Out there with the party people

Wait up my baby

'Cause that ain’t all

Soul music is everywhere

I smell soul food in the air

And I know my baby’s over there

That’s why I’m gonna make it

No matter where

Out there with the party people

Over there having a natural ball

Out there with the party people
