Wanda Jackson - Wanda Jackson - (Digitally Remastered 2011)

Let's Have A Party - (Digitally Remastered 2011)

Let's Have A Party
Wanda Jackson with instrumental backup by Gene Vincent's Blue Caps.

Peaked at # 37 in 1960

Some people like to rock, some people like to roll
But movin' and a-groovin's gonna satisfy my soul
Let's have a party
Hoo, let's have a party
Well, send 'im to the store Let's buy some more
Let's have a party tonight

I never kissed a bear, I never kissed a 'coon
But I can shake a chicken in the middle of the room
Let's have a party
Hoo, let's have a party
Well, send 'im to the store Let's buy some more
Let's have a party tonight

I never kissed a bear, I never kissed a goon (?)
But I can shake a chicken in the middle of the room
Let's have a party
Hoo, let's have a party
Well, send 'im to the store Let's buy some more
Let's have a party tonight

Honky-Tonky' Joe is knockin' at the door
Bring him in an' fill 'im up an' sit 'im on the floor
Let's have a party
Hoo, let's have a party
Well, send 'im to the store Let's buy some more
Let's have a party tonight

The meat is on the stove, the bread's a-gettin' hot
Everybody run, they got the 'possum in the pot
Let's have a party
Hoo, let's have a party
Well, send 'im to the store Let's buy some more
Let's have a party tonight

Let's have a party tonight
Let's have a party tonight
FADE
We're gonna have a party tonight

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: The word "'coon" is a guess because it is really hard to
understand. The word does have a long-O sound which is fairly close to rhyming
with the subsequent "room". Plus there are 2 other animals mentioned, a bear
and a 'possum", so why not a raccoon, too?
