Del Barber - The Party Song (Capo 6)

  G
Jesus is at the table drinking wine with Dionysus
  C
Judas is arguing with Apollo about what the meaning of life is
 G                                                                  D
See I sent out invitations to a party I was thowin', and everybody came
       C                                 G       
And everyone except for Jesus forgot to RSVP


   G
I never thought that Micho would get along with Rousseau
    C
But with a little bit of booze the conversation just seemed to flow
    G                                                     
And old Marx was in the backyard gettin' high on the trampoline
     C                                                  G
Said it reminds him way to much of liberal, political economy


        C               G            D          G
Yes I know that I am hosting but I cannot entertain
       C          G            D    G
I am tired of takin' life so seriously
   C              G                    D       G
Starring up her skirt so long at her black underwear
              C             G                 D       G
She used to take me for a sucker, now she's takin' me upstairs


      G
Old Dylan he drove up from northern Minnesota
         C  
He said Del you sure are a skinny little fucker
               G 
And he heard Guthrie in the back, all the way from the grave
         C                                            D        G
Just to play some songs for folks who were too damn drunk to leave


        C               G            D          G
Yes I know that I am hosting but I cannot entertain
       C          G            D    G
I am tired of takin' life so seriously
   C              G                    D       G
Starring up her skirt so long at her black underwear
              C             G                 D       G
She used to take me for a sucker, now she's takin' me upstairs


       G
You should have seen Ghandi role right though my front door
        C 
On fixed gear bike, with a smile that seemed so sure
          G
He was passing out drinks to anyone who was looking bored
          C                                  G 
The he passed right out on the bathroom floor


        C               G            D          G
Yes I know that I am hosting but I cannot entertain
       C          G            D    G
I am tired of takin' life so seriously
   C              G                    D       G
Starring up her skirt so long at her black underwear
              C             G                 D       G
She used to take me for a sucker, now she's takin' me upstairs


       G
So here's the moral of the story if you care enough
            C
SOmetimes truth it gets a little gray and things start gettin' rough
           G
You might even feel like the reason's just playing hard to get
        C                                                          G
It's a life that's full of things that don't quite end up makin' sense
           C                                                     G
You see life is full of things that don't quite end up makin' sense
