Party House

If you're sad in your party house I'll be happy to move right in
If you're sad in your party house I'll be happy to move right in
If you're sad in your party house I'll be happy to move right in
If you're sad in your party house I'll be happy to move right in
Because I want your wild nights
The hot flesh abandon in the strobe light delirium
I want your heavenly decadence
I am ready for some good times, baby
If the party has become a drag
If the poolside fantasia only numbs your soul
Take your car and drive away
I'll move into your party home
Because I want your conspicuous consumption
I need your fun, meaningless relationships
Silhouettes dancing to the rising sun
Neon palm trees swaying in the breeze
All these wonderful confections
I want your party house
I want your wild nights
I want your party house
I am ready for some good times, baby
I am ready for some good times now
I am ready for some good times, baby
I am ready . . . for your party house . . .
If you're sad in your party house
Take a journey to find meaningful existence
Go heal your broken soul
I'l move right in
I'll be happy in your party house
I'll be happy in this beautiful creation
I'll be happy in your party house
I'll be happy at last
I'll be happy at last

Money

I only work for the money
I only work for the money
I only work for the money
And the money is not that good
I only work for the money
Yeah, me and everybody
I only work for the money
And the money is not that good
I don't do it for the pride
But I don't hang my head in shame
It's a job and I arrive
And when it's done I go away, yeah . . .
Money money money money money money money
A man once told me do what you love
And you will never work a day in your life
So I rode the waves for a month or so
But no one paid me and it was back to work I go
Those who praise hardworking Americans
Thank sweet Jesus they don't have jobs like them
They make it out like it's patriotism
We're only working for a pot to piss in
Money money money money money money money
money, good
get down now
work it
everybody now work it

New Monty in Town

There’s a new Monty
A new Monty in town
And there’s gonna be
Some changes ’round here
Yes, here comes Monty
’Round the corner
He don't know where's going
But he’s already giving orders
His name is Monty
And he’ll beat the fix
His name is Monty
But he’s no Montgomery Cliff
But he don’t care
What he is and who he isn’t
His name is Monty
And this Monty means business
There's a new Monty in town
There’s a new, new Monty in town
He drives around
In his mom’s old Cadillac
But s he’s in a nursing home now
So she can’t ask for it back
You say well Monty
It's all in your mind
He says, brother
It's all in the mind
His name is Monty
He wants it all
You may be satisfied but
He’s tired of living small
Yeah, here comes Monty
T o save the day
And he don’t give a damn
If he’s five hours too late
He’ll tell ya what, he’ll tell ya now
He’ll tell ya wherefore, and he’ll tell you how
There's a new Monty in town
There’s a new, new Monty in town
Yes, his name is Monty
There is no why
Only why not him
Why some other damn guy?
Yes this time it's Monty
Who is the one
Who is the now
Yes, there's a new Monty on town
He's got the whole world in his hands
Got the whole world in his hands
May be too crazy to have the world in his hands
But as Monty says Crazy is his plan

If you can’t give me heaven
If you can’t give me heaven
If you can’t give me heaven
I’ll take the gold
Give me a spotlight on a tropical hot night with a banana moon
If you can’t give me heaven still you can do better than giving me hell
Throw a party across the nation, love celebration, spontaneous elation and the food’s good too.
Give me good friends and laughter, and a place to go after, where we dance all night
Cause even if you could give me heaven, I’d rather be dancing, dance all night
I don’t need to be received
I don’t need to be received
I just want the digs, man
If you can’t give me heaven
I’ll take villa over the ocean with an infinity pool, and a well-stocked fridge
If you can’t give me heaven
I’ll take the diamond-studded jacket with a lightning bolt on the back,
I don’t want some old, broken down roadside attraction
With a mangy dog
I want five stars, baby
I want five stars on the mountaintop
Cause if you can’t give me heaven
You can find me dancing on the mountaintop
Yeah, that’s where you’ll find me
That’s where you’ll find me
If you can’t give me heaven
I’ll take the gold
If you can’t give me heaven, give me a soundtrack
