lyrics

If you don’t mind, I’ll hang around until the party starts.
I promise, I won’t make a sound until the party starts.
I’ll go upstairs and not come down until the party starts.
And when the party starts I’ll pack up and go home.

I’ll just be in your favorite chair until the party starts,
or I’ll just wash and dye my hair until the party starts.
I’ll just be waiting over there until the party starts.
And when the party starts you’ll find me back at home.

‘Cause when the party starts the guests will laugh and dance and drink Prosecco 'til the dawn,
and there might be party snacks on rented tables and beanbags out for tossing on the lawn.
And probably everybody’s little kids’ll be there getting in everybody’s hair.
Come to think of it, I wouldn’t miss it for the world I’ll try to be there.

If you don’t mind, I’ll hang around until the party starts.
I promise, I won’t make a sound until the party starts.
I’ll go upstairs and not come down until the party starts.
And when the party starts I’ll see you back at home.
