I threw a party and nobody came
looked around for someone to blame
champagne on ice and caviar
and freshly rolled Bob Marley cigars
and freshly rolled Bob Marley cigars

I threw a party and the taste was sour
lining up as the lone wall flower
Motown...Stax....and the Rolling Stones
it ain't no fun when you're all alone
it ain't no fun when you're all alone

back door open....front door wide
patio bombed with pesticide
waiters waiting for to impress
the little ladies in their little white dresses
the little ladies in their little white dresses

I threw a party and nobody came
stayed up all night in the pouring rain
watched the heat rise from the driveway floor
playing havoc with the fine decor
playing havoc with the fine decor

I threw a party and the lights went out
leaving bottles of Lager and pints of Stout
to be showered in under candlelight
and bloody knuckles to raw to fight
and bloody knuckles to raw to fight

back door open....front door wide
patio bombed with pesticide
waiters waiting for to impress
the little ladies in their little white dresses
the little ladies in their little white dresses

I threw a party and nobody came
and they say boy can you be the same?
heart and soul and a fistful of air
counting all the emtpy chairs
counting all the emtpy chairs
