It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
Nobody knows where my johnny has gone
But Judy left the same time
Why was she holding her hand
When he's supposed to be mine
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
Play all my records keep dancing all night
But leave me alone for a while
Till johnny's dancing with me
I've got no reason to smile
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
Judy and Johnny just walked through the door
Like a queen with her king
Oh, what a birthday surprise
Judy is wearing his ring
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
