One, two, three, four

Hi everybody, I'm from the sixties

The time of Louie Louie and little Latin Lupe Lou

And I know we can't have those times back again

But we can have parties like they were then

We need more parties in the USA

We need more parties in the USA

Could there be block parties of which I don't know?

Maybe they're in neighborhoods where I don't go

Could there be all these parties down some little lane?

With potato chips sitting there and guitar playing

We need more parties in the USA

Well my friends were having a party 'round about nine

Down in Huntington Beach when the police knocked

Well, my friends were just quiet now

They were just drinking coffee and talking

When the officer said someone called up complaining

Everybody kept walking, he said

"Go home, go home, go home, go home"

He said, "Go home, go home, go home"

And that's no good for

Parties in the USA

That's no good for papa, papa Lupe Lou

No, no good for hang on Sloopy, Sloopy hang on

So people are staying home more, not having fun

A cold cold era has begun, has begun

Now things were bad before, there was lots of loneliness

But in 1965 things were not like this

When we had hang on Sloopy, Sloopy hang on

Oh, oh, yeah and papa, papa Lupe Lou

Shake it, shake it, shake it Lupe, alright

Well could there be block parties of which I know not?

Wild beach parties around some open flame

I know there's got to be parties, I bet there's a lot

But the USA has changed somehow that I can't name

He said

"Go home, go home, go home, go home"

He said, "Go home, go home, go home"

And that's no good for parties in the USA

No, papa, papa Lupe Lou

Oh yeah

People are moving to California, who hate the beach and things

I think they'd rather watch TV than hear a real person sing

Of course nowadays at parties you got louder stereo equipment

So now if the parties too loud, it's like a radioactive shipment

I say nowadays at parties, for example, you got louder stereo bass

So now if the things too loud, it's like a toxic clean up case

Well nowadays at parties well, they've got louder stereos, right?

So now if it's too loud, it's like a noxious chemical sight

Well, parties in the USA

He said, "Go home, ho home, go home, oh, oh"

Parties in the USA

But these friends of mine in Huntington Beach

They weren't loud when the officers entered

Like and these officers, man, they weren't mellow

I mean they were so uncentered, they said

"Go home, go home, go home"

That's no good for parties in the USA

We need more papa, papa Lupe Lou

We need more shake it, shake it, shake it, Lupe

We need more parties yeah, in the USA

Alright, yeah, shake it up, shake it up, oh
