There were beverages, laid out for the party
EmDAmEm
There were candy and spices, and tri colored pastas
EmDAmEm
The meat carved, was drawn from succulent juices
EmDAmEm
Served on platters of the purest gold
Em, D, Am, Em
I was calm when we arrived at the party
I spoke with fervor, in embracing the evening
My wife leaned over, and she whispered “I love you”
I held her close, and we danced
CH:
CGD
We had the best time at your party
AmCEm
The wife and I thank you very much (x2)
Cream puffs and bourbon, and the music was louder
My wife was competing in a game of chance
The party raged and the guests were screaming
I could have danced all night
CH:
We had the best time at your party.
The wife and I thank you very much (x2)
Slow part (single strum Em, D, Am, Em):
Later on when we were under the covers,
I closed my eyes, then I drifted to sleep.
I dreamt about me, maybe throwing a party,
And just how great that would be.
CH:
And I said… We had the best time at your party.
The wife and I thank you very much (x2)
