Lyrics

More Than A Party

Lots of surprises in store

This isn't a party

It's a whole lot more

We've had enough of this blind man's bluff

You've kept us in the dark for long enough

This is more than a party

More than a party

More than a party

Keep telling us we're to have fun

Then take all the ice cream so we've got none

The failed magician waves his wand

And in an instant the laughter's gone

Loads of surprises in store

This isn't a party

It's a whole lot more
