It’s My Party Lyrics

[Produced by Gary Lambert]

[Bill Graham]
It's my party! Well, what about me?
It's my party! Well, what about me?
It's my party! Well, what about me?
It's my party! Well, what about me?

What about me?

Fillmore East and Fillmore West
Fillmore East and Fillmore West

I no longer want to cater to the whim

I didn't have to kowtow
(Fillmore East and Fillmore West)

I can say, "I pass."
(Fillmore East and Fillmore West)

"I pass." It's as simple as that

I didn't have to kowtow to the madness of the industry

Last year, we closed the places
(Fillmore East and Fillmore West)
I wish

You slimy piece of...

I wish I could tell you to go fuck yourself

"HOT PANTS!"

You slimy piece of...

I wish I could tell you to go fuck yourself

"HOT PANTS!"

You slimy piece of...

I wish I could tell you to go fuck yourself, but I can't

You slimy piece of...

"HOT PANTS!"

You slimy piece of...

"HOT PANTS!"
You slimy piece of shit

For years and years, a lot of people said, "hey, it's groovy, groovy"
For years and years, a lot of people said, "hey, it's groovy, groovy"
For years and years, a lot of people said, "hey, it's groovy, groovy"
For years and years, a lot of people said, "hey, it's groovy, groovy"

We worked with The Who, or Ten Years After, or Jethro Tull

The Rolling Stones, Cat Stevens, EmersonLakePalmer

The Grateful Dead. When The Grateful Dead play, all of a sudden there's this big neon sign saying, "Grateful Dead, Grateful Dead."

You have the Partridge Family

"Grateful Dead, Grateful Dead."

You have Santana

"Grateful Dead, Grateful Dead."

You have Carole King

"Grateful Dead, Grateful Dead."

You have Chicago

"Grateful Dead, Grateful Dead."

And what we have now is much more very good music, and much more CRAP!

I gotta deal with the super-schmucks, and the sound people, and the television people, and the radio people, and the light shows, and the newspaper people. And you ALL want it your way! The nice, simple way. Perfect for you! WHAT ABOUT ME?!?

No no no. No no no no. That was... That ...

No no

No no no. No no no no. That was... That ...

No no

No no no. No no no no. That was... That ...

No no

[JB] Come on now! Hey!

Your fucking secretary makes me wait and wait and wait. And you've made me wait for a long, long, long time

[JB] Hey!

I'll take your teeth out of your mouth and shove 'em through your nose

[JB] Hey!

That's right! That's right! That's right! That's right!

That's right! It's about time I told you how I felt. Cause all week long, you were making demands on me, and I'm getting on my knees. I'm tired of getting on my knees

[JB] Hey!

I paid you fifteen thousands dollars

Shuddup! Shuddup! Shuddup! Shuddup!

Ah, to hell with him, the capitalist bastard!

"Yeah, sock it to him, Graham! We love you!" Two minutes earlier, they wanted to castrate me


I can be the biggest putz in the world, and yell a lot, but I ain't dishonest. And I will always tell you how I feel

"HOT PANTS!"

You slimy piece of...

"HOT PANTS!"

You slimy piece of...

"HOT PANTS!"

You slimy piece of...

"HOT PANTS!"

You slimy piece of...

"HOT PANTS!"

It's my party!

You slimy piece of...

It's my party!

It's my party!

You slimy piece of...

It's my party!

Well, what about me?

"HOT PANTS!"

You slimy piece of...

It's my party!

Well, what about me?

"HOT PANTS!"

You slimy piece of...

It's my party!

You slimy piece of...

"HOT PANTS!"

You slimy piece of...

"HOT PANTS!"

"HOT PANTS!"

"HOT PANTS!"

You slimy piece of shit!

Well, what about me?

It's my party!

Well, what about me?

It's my party!

Well, what about me?

It's my party!

Well, what about me?

What about ME!?!
