Well this is my back yard - my back gate
I hate to start my parties late
Heres the party cart - aint that great?
That aint the best part baby - just wait
Thats a genuine weathervane - it moves with the breeze
Portable hammock honey - who needs trees
Its casual entertaining - we aim to please
At my parties
Check out the shingles - its brand new
Excuse me while I mingle - hi, how are you
Hey everybody - let me give you a toast
This ones for me - the host with the most
Its getting a trifle colder - step inside my home
Thats a brass toilet tissue holder with its own telephone
Thats a musical doorbell - it dont ring, I aint kiddin
It plays america the beautiful and tie a yellow ribbon
Boy, this punch is a trip - its o.k. in my book
Here, take a sip - maybe a little heavy on the fruit
Ah, here comes the dip - you may kiss the cook
Let me show you honey - its easy - look
You take a fork and spike em - say, did you try these?
So glad you like em - the secrets in the cheese
Its casual entertaining - we aim to please
At my parties
Now dont talk to me about the polar bear
Dont talk to me about the ozone layer
Aint so much of anything these days, even the air
Theyre running out of rhinos - what do I care?
Lets hear it for the dolphin - lets hear it for the trees
Aint runnin out of nothin in my deep freeze
Its casual entertaining - we aim to please
At my parties
