When he turned 34 but who's counting   He couldn't find anyone who wanted to party   So he walked around a playground with a bag of Mickey's Tallboys   And he heard the sound of laughter and he followed it for fifteen blocks   There was a house between Mavis and Water   They were out on the porch, they were inside playing quarters   And he said, "Don't you know the game Kazaam? It's a better game,   You point your elbow at someone and say somebody else's name   And it alternates whose turn it is and if you lose you drink."   They said "Man, you really make us think,   yeah you make us think and so:      Tonight we're gonna be the party   We will party all night long   We are the party generation   So have a seat, what's in the bag?   Party on."      Round about one or two it started winding down   And he knew what they needed -- they needed donuts   So they walked out to Krispy Kruller's All Nite Sugar Palace   It was there in the doorway he said, "Oh, well maybe not."   Inside there were six women talking   They were the most justified angry ex-girlfriends   And they swivelled around slowly like they saw something bad   Through the eyes in the back of their heads   Like he always knew they had   And they said, "What a coincidence," and "Hey, you're just the man,   We were saying that you did the best you could   You're fine, we understand and so--      Tonight we're gonna be the party   We will party all night long   We are the party generation   You were the best but we'll survive   Party on."      In the morning they sent him home with a designated driver   And he lay down and thought about the whole night   And he looked up at the photo that he bought at a junk shop   It was only fifty cents but he framed it and everything   It was the kind of party that you hope never ends   The lucky party boy surrounded by his friends   And they were all in pointed hats   Caught in a rebel birthday shout   And he was at the candles with his mom there to help him out   There was a lot that you could learn if you lay near them   Like if you listened you could hear them and he could hear them      They say:      Tonight we're gonna be the party   We will party all night long   We are the party generation   So lift your head and blow 'em out      Tonight we're gonna be the party   We will party all night long   We are the party generation   So lift your head lift your head   Party on
