Lyrics
It was a random Tuesday night, got the yeti packed up real tight. Won’t be long before we’re feeling all right. I hope you’re down for this. Headed over to my cousin’s house. She’s up north but her hearts down south. Start a fire in that old backyard. I hope you’re down for this. we’re just living in for today. Cause we don’t know other way. You’re invited to the Parti-Gras. From California out to Wichita. Drinking Tea‘s rocking Panama. So come and join us at the Parti-Gras. Me and the crew shooting fireball. Sipping Bacardi, babe without the straw. So if you’re living like an outlaw. Come and meet me at the Parti-Gras.
Got the boat shined up real nice. Just bring a couple bags of ice. The sun is shining and the air is just right. I hope you’re down for this. Heading out to the swimming hole. The water the water is warm, but the beer is cold. If you live like this man, you don’t get old. I hope you’re down for this. Cause we’re just living for today. And we don’t know another way.
Turn my hat back into party mode. Turn it up till my speakers blow. Swerve driving down this old dirt road. Solo cup full of Jack and Coke.
