THE CAT EMPIRE LYRICS - Party Started

"Party Started"



Ducking out my window double story from the ground

from my hammock down my tree and into Melbourne town

now first stop hit Kanelata to Tedesco land

to down that show - with 2 shoes and a magic hand man

now it's aplan as flamenco turns to - down shakin

there's a jazz jam and Julie's got the whole joint bakin'

and anyone who's fakin' gets a quick anihilation

as we movin' destinations on the music train station singing

'on and on and on'. "on and on and on"

checkin checkin out Mr Askey's song - cos he's

late sevens' captain-on-the-mic but blows the horn so fierce

that the room ignite

it's like his shuffle got us thinking about dowing the down low so where we go?

We take the night cat stop for the cabrones show

and here's the point I stop reciting start to dance instead

I heared the city of the deep blue lights it said:

Now get the party started



It wasn't hard... to get the party started



Chillin at the club, pimpin with my money

(Well actually, my parties are more like_

Chillin in the sun with tea and milk and honey

Tea and lamingtons, that's my idea of fun

But I do enjoy the odd ocaasional bottle of rum

As we learnt in the songs that I have previously sung

When it's done with fruit juice at a barbecue in the sun

In the afternoon is begun with kangaroo and capsicum

I do eat meat but I don't like killing

So don't crash my party whill I'm sitting back chilling

My oh my why oh why are people so violient

I ani't trying to be a lion I extend my alliance

To anyone who like to just sit back and chitchat

Maybe have a jam, spit scats and eat biscuits

Before you know it's midnight and you're running through the moonlight

And you realise...



It wasn't hard... to get the party started



The house party started about eleven or so

got a call dfrom Krido to tell me that

Dubwo and Hendo started it blow by blow

notw it's a dancehall rockin like'a Cuban mojo

so bring ya go-go's and your special friends

I've never been diving but I get the bends

when schlam and Mick and Fairooz making the soul news

see we got the bomb track and the D-floor's the fuse



The C-A-T E-M-P-I-R-E-S G-O-T

A Party H-A-P-P-E-N-I-N-G and it's a

G-O-Double N-A be seeing

The break of dawn

Then keep on rockig it

Can you tell me something about last night?



It wasn't hard... to get the party started
