They Raided the Joint
I went to a party
Just to have a little fun
I went to a party
Just to have a little fun
When the joint started jumping
That's when the fight begun
You know they raided the joint
Took everybody down with me
Yeah, they raided the joint
Took everybody down with me
I was over in the corner
Just as drunk as I could be
Well, they was drinking gin and whiskey
Drinking mighty fast
I could have got a drink
But I couldn't find a glass
Yes, they raided the joint
Took everybody down with me
I was over in a corner
Just as juiced as I could be
Some was drinking wine
Some was drinking rum
They had a Sneaky Pete
But they wouldn't give me none
Yes, they raided the joint
Took everybody down with me
I was over in a corner
Mellow as I could be
Some was dancing in the kitchen
Hugging in the hall
I'm going down to court
And tell the judge about it all
Oh yes, they raided the joint
Took everybody down with me
I was over in a corner
Knocked out as I could be
Let's talk some trash
Spend some cash this morning
Yeah, let's talk some trash
Spend some cash this morning
Well, let's all get high
And don't go home 'til dawning
Let's all get high
Don't go home 'til dawning
Just to have a little fun
I went to a party
Just to have a little fun
When the joint started jumping
That's when the fight begun
You know they raided the joint
Took everybody down with me
Yeah, they raided the joint
Took everybody down with me
I was over in the corner
Just as drunk as I could be
Well, they was drinking gin and whiskey
Drinking mighty fast
I could have got a drink
But I couldn't find a glass
Yes, they raided the joint
Took everybody down with me
I was over in a corner
Just as juiced as I could be
Some was drinking wine
Some was drinking rum
They had a Sneaky Pete
But they wouldn't give me none
Yes, they raided the joint
Took everybody down with me
I was over in a corner
Mellow as I could be
Some was dancing in the kitchen
Hugging in the hall
I'm going down to court
And tell the judge about it all
Oh yes, they raided the joint
Took everybody down with me
I was over in a corner
Knocked out as I could be
Let's talk some trash
Spend some cash this morning
Yeah, let's talk some trash
Spend some cash this morning
Well, let's all get high
And don't go home 'til dawning
Let's all get high
Don't go home 'til dawning
