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
