Lyrics
(Party lights, I see the party lights, they're red and blue and green)
Party lights
(Everybody in the crowd is there, please let me make the scene)
Mama, I wanna go, go, go, go, go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Mama, mama)
Today, mama, dear, ah, tell me do you hear
We're partying tonight
I tell you, I can't sleep because across the street
Uh-oh, uh-oh, I see the party lights
(Mama, mama)
I see the lights, I see the party lights
They're red and blue and green
Oh, everybody in the crowd is there
But you won't let me make the scene
(Mama, mama, mama)
Oh, mama, dear, a-look a-here, look here
There goes Mary Lou
I see Tommy and Joe, uh-oh, and Betty and Sue
Uh-oh, uh-oh, there goes my boyfriend, too
I see the lights, I see the lights, I see the party lights
They're red and blue and green
Oh, everybody in the crowd is there
But you won't let me make a scene
(Mama, mama, mama)
Listen to the party, mama!
Oh, mama, dear, a-look a-here, look here
I'm feeling oh so blue
They're doing the Twist, the Fish, the Mashed Potatoes, too
I'm here a-looking at you
I see the lights, I see the lights, I see the party lights
They're red and blue and green
Oh, everybody in the crowd is there
But you won't let me make a scene
(Mama, mama, mama)
They're doing the Fish, they're doing the Twist (I see the lights, I see the party lights)
The Watusi, the Mashed Potatoes (They're blue and green)
I see the lights, I see the lights (Everybody is there)
They're doing the Bop, I wanna go (Mama, mama, mama)
I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go (See the lights, I see the party lights)
I see the lights (Red and blue and green)
I wanna go (Everybody...)
I wanna... [fades out]
