What a Party

And the gang took wing
 And the shadows leapt
 Any fool could see -
 What a party
 ♪
 And the gang took wing
 And the shadows leapt
 Any fool could see -
 What a party
 While the candles glared
 And the neighbors wept
 Any swell could be
 At a party
 Lightly
 Quickly
 Slightly sickly
 Pasty
 Tasty
 Like birds of prey
 'Round the hors d'oeuvre tray
 When the laughter starts
 And the game begins
 You can guarantee
 That's how to blow
 That's how to grow
 That's how to throw a party!
 Madelaine True -
 Lesbian
 Eddie -
 Pugilist
 Crazy
 Crowded
 Smartly shrouded
 Drinking
 Stinking
 Till by and by
 They began to fly
 Jackie -
 Sweet dancer
 The brothers d'Armano
 Pianists
 Composers
 Dolores
 A hooker
 Mae
 A looker
 Nadine
 A minor
 And the gang took wing
 And the clock ticked on
 Any fool could see
 What a party
 For the mood could swing
 When the blues got gone
 While the booze was free
 At a party
 Panting
 Prying
 Loudly lying
 Raving
 Craving
 Like birds of prey
 'Round the hors d'oeuvre tray -
 But tonight
 Queenie surpassed them all
 And tonight
 Queenie stood firm and tall
 With a face of ivory
 And gold for hair
 She was something
 To kneel before in prayer
 My God
 Queenie
 You're looking swell
 Quoth Queenie
