Dire Straits – My Parties

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’s a genuine weathervane

It moves with the breeze

Portable hammock honey

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 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 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 ozone layer

Ain’t so 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 runnin’ out of nothin’ in my deep freeze

It’s casual entertaining

We aim to please

At my parties
