First we'll pick Priscilla up. And then we'll stop for Jane
And Mary Ellen needs a ride. We're going by her place
We're going to a party. Our friends will all be there
I got the directions. It's across the river somewhere
We rang the top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer. Top floor, bottom buzzer
The middle won't work. Ring the one under
Priscilla's in the kitchen she's mixing drinks
She's mixing one for me I think
And one for Mary Ellen and one for Jane
Priscilla, she knows how to use a shaker
She doesn't get up as early as a baker. Uh huh
There's a muchacha, teaching me to mambo
There's my buddy Pete eyeing a bowl of combos
Ramona and a man do a tango dip. Cheek to cheek, hip to hip, come on
The window's open it's the heart of the summer
More people coming looking for the number
Mary Ellen sees them she has a little stutter. She yells
T-top floor, b-bottom buzzer. Top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer. Top floor, bottom buzzer
The middle won't work. Ring the one under. Come on. Woo
It was later it was after two
We found a bottle of good chartreuse
The lights were green and gold. We played Latin soul
By the time Priscilla put the Al Green on the bottle was gone
On the top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer. Top floor, bottom buzzer
The middle won't work. Ring the one under. Come on. Woo
Top floor, bottom buzzer. Top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer. The middle won't work. Ring the one under. Come on. Woo
