Having A Party Lyrics
Yeah, clap your hands
We're having a party,
dancing to the music
played by the D.J.
on the radio
The Cokes are in the icebox,
popcorn's on the table
Me and my baby, yeah,
we're out here on the floor, oh yeah
So, Mister, Mr. D.J.
keep those records playing
coz I'm having
such a good time,
dancing with my baby
Everybody's swinging,
Sally's doing that twist now
If you play requests now,
I've got a few for you
Play that one called "Soul Twist".
Play that one called "I Know"
Don't forget them "Mashed Potatoe"
no other songs will do
So, Mister, Mr. D.J.
keep those records playing
coz I'm having
such a good time,
dancing with my baby

Originally a Sam Cooke song
The song references:-: "Mashed Potatoes" is probably "Mashed Potato Time" by Dee Dee Sharp "I Know" - there are dozens of songs by this name - I would hazard a guess it's either the Ike & Tina Turner song, or perhaps the BB King one "Soul Twist" is of course the King Curtis tune
They're dancing to the music on the radio because the homeowner can't afford his own stereo (this is In Tha Geto, remember!) "Party time" radio shows were part of the musical furniture in the '50s and '60s - Santana first heard the original of "Oye Como Va" on a radio show just like that!
