I wanna bang on the walls
Rock on the floor
I wanna party
Like the people next door
Wanna wake up the neighbors
At a quarter of four
I wanna party
Like the people next door
I live in
Room 203
I got two cute girls
Living next door to me
One name is Lucy
The other one's Kim
Late at night
You can hear them
So loud
They oughta be ashamed
Making strange noises
Sounds like a choo-choo train
Now I'm not complaining
All I'm really saying
Is I wanna do it too
I wanna bang on the walls
Rock on the floor
I wanna party
Like the people next door
Wanna wake up my neighbors
At a quarter of four
I wanna party
Like the people next door
Let me tell ya 'bout my old lady
When we first met
We used to go head up
Every chance we'd get
Now time has past
And we're slowing down
Sometimes two weeks go by
Before we fool around
You're darn right
I'm envious
Cuz what I'm hearing thru my walls
Sounds like happiness
Keeping me 'wake baby
Driving me crazy
Cuz I wanna do it too
I wanna bang on the walls
Rock on the floor
I wanna party
Like the people next door
Wanna wake up my neighbors
At a quarter of four
I wanna party
Like the people next door
Come on, come on
Come on wake up baby
I wanna party
Like the people next door
Come on, come on now
Wake up baby
Let me party
Like the people next door
(Musical Interlude)
I've tried
But I can't get no sleep
(I know the feeling)
I need a woman (um)
To fulfill my needs
(I know the feeling)
Don't let me go to bed hungry
I'm starving
For something to eat
Don't let me go to bed lonely (no)
Cuz I need some company
To help me bang on the walls
Rock on the floor
I wanna party
Like the people next door
Wanna wake up my neighbors
At a quarter of four
I wanna party
Like the people next door
Come on, come on
Come on now baby
Let me party
Like the people next door
(Ding Dong)
Bang, bang, bang
Hey it's your next door neighbor
Can I come in
I wanna join the party (Please!)
I ain't gon' hurt nobody
I can't sleep
