C Am D G
When he turned 34, but who's counting
C Am D
He couldn't find anyone who wanted to party
G F C D
So he walked around a playground with a bag of Mickey's Tallboys
G C Am D G
And he heard the sound of laughter and he followed it for fifteen blocks
C Am D
There was a house between Mavis and Water
G C Am D G
They were out on the porch, they were inside playing quarters
Am D
And he said, "Don't you know the game Kazaam? It's a better game,
Am D
You point your elbow at someone and say somebody else's name
Am G C D
And it alternates whose turn it is and if you lose you drink."
Am G C D
They said, "Man, you really make us think, yeah, you make us think
G
And so..."
CHORUS:
C Am D G
Tonight we're gonna be the party
C Am D G
We will party all night long__
F C
We are the party generation
Am D
So have a seat, what's in the bag?
G
Party on
C Am D G
'Round about 1:00 or 2:00 it started winding down
C Am D
And he knew what they needed, they needed doughnuts
G F C D
So they walked out to Krispy Kruller's All Nite Sugar Palace
G C Am D G
It was there at the doorway he said, "Oh, well maybe not."
C Am D
Inside there were six women talking
G C Am D
They were the most justified angry ex-girlfriends
Am D
And they swivelled around slowly like they saw something bad
Am D
Through the eyes in the back of their heads, like he always knew they had
Am G C D
And they said, "What a coincidence" and "Hey you're just the man,
Am G C D
We were saying that you did the best you could, you're fine, we understand
G
And so..."
CHORUS:
C Am D G
Tonight we're gonna be the party (party)
C Am D G
We will party all night long__
F C
We are the party generation
Am D
You were the best, but we'll survive
G
Party On

G C Am D
In the morning they sent him home with a designated driver
G C Am D
And he lay down and thought about the whole night
G F C D
And he looked up at the photo that he got at a junk shop
G C Am D G
It was only fifty cents, but he framed it and everything
C Am D G
It was the kind of party that you hope never ends
C Am D
The lucky party boy surrounded by his friends
Am D
And they were all in pointed hats, caught in a rebel birthday shout
Am D Am
And he was at the candles with his mom there to help him out
G C D Am
There was a lot that you could learn if you lay near them
G C D
Like if you listened, you could hear them, and he could hear them
G
They say...
