Well this is my back yard - my back gate   I hate to start my parties late   Here's the party cart - ain't that great?   That ain't the best part baby - just wait   That a genuine weathervane - it moves with the breeze   Portable hammock baby - who needs trees   It's casual entertaining - we aim to please   At my parties      Check out the shingles - it's brand new   Excuse me while I mingle - hi, how are you   Hey everybody - let me give you a toast   This one's for me - the host with the most      It's getting a trifle colder - step inside my home   That's a brass toilet tissue holder with its own telephone   That's a musical doorbell - it don't ring, I ain't kiddin'   It plays america the beautiful and tie a yellow ribbon      Boy, this punch is a trip - it's o.k. in my book   Here, take a sip - maybe a little heavy on the fruit   Ah, here comes the dip - you may kiss the cook   Let me show you honey - it's easy - look   You take a fork and spike 'em - say, did you try these?   So glad you like 'em - the secret's in the cheese   It's casual entertaining - we aim to please   At my parties      Now don't talk to me about the polar bear   Don't talk to me about the ozone layer   Ain't much of anything these days, even the air   They're running out of rhinos - what do I care?   Let's hear it for the dolphin - let's hear it for the trees   Ain't running out of nothing in my deep freeze   It's casual entertaining - we aim to please   At my parties
