Lyrics

The Rural demo

Motel six, slow gin fizz,
Swingin' in the lobby,
Do the sunset twist.
I can do it, you can do it,
Move them hips,
Come on, everybody, get dangerous.

Fellas, if you wanna,
Get the invite quicker,
Pack up the pickup,
Pick up the liquor.
Go on, use your charm,
Say "come on, gonna get her",
It's about time.

Ladies, if you really,
Wanna reign them suckers,
Line up your lips,
Plump up your pluckers.
It's about the only way,
To get them motherfuckers.
Do, do what you want to.

It's a party, it's a party,
We're so naughty, come on, Johnny,
Do it, do it, do it, come on.
It's a party, it's a party,
That we started, come on, Johnny,
Maybe this is where we belong.

Motel six, you're so sick,
Swingin' from the ceiling,
Like a front man Rick.
Show a little skin for my polaroid pic,
Promise I won't show,
Your little girlfriend this.

Ladies, if you really,
Wanna know my secret,
Come a little closer,
Kitty, promise you'll keep it.
Come a little nearer, dear,
You gonna need it,
Gonna tell you.

It's a party, it's a party,
We're so naughty, come on, Johnny,
Do it, do it, do it, come on.
It's a party, it's a party,
That we started, come on, Johnny,
Maybe this is where we belong.

Baby, we can go down,
To 7-Eleven,
Drive down the main drag in,
Your Pontiac heaven.
You can drink and drive,
Whatever you want to,
We'll get right down to it,
Me and you, boo.

Layin' on your hood,
Like a flatbed truck,
In the spotlight we see,
Jim and Chuck.
Saw that car from a mile away,
And it's slowin',
Say that there's a motel dance,
Let's get going.

It's a party, it's a party,
We're so naughty, come on, Johnny,
Do it, do it, do it, come on.
It's a party, it's a party,
That we started, come on, Johnny,
Maybe this is where we belong.

It's a party, it's a party,
We're so naughty, come on, Johnny,
Do it, do it, do it, come on.
It's a party, it's a party,
That we started, come on, Johnny,
Maybe this is where we belong.

Motel six, drive-in flicks,
Ladies in their black cars, bras and kicks,
Babies at the sitters, oh, I'm gettin' my fix,
Keepin' it, keepin' it glamorous.

It's a party, it's a party,
It's a party, it's a party,
It's a party, c-c-come on.
It's a party, it's a party,
It's a party, it's a party,
It's a party, c-c-come on.

Baby, if you really,

Men like a woman,
Who just don't need 'em.
Sweeter than cherry pie,
And we'll treat 'em,
Meaner than dirt,
They deserve to be hurt,
Do they realize what,
You're worth?

It's a party, it's a party,
It's a party, it's a party,
It's a party, c-c-come on.

It's a party, it's a party,

It's a party, c-c-come on.

Maybe we can go down,
To 7-Eleven,
Drive down the drag in,
Your Pontiac heaven.
Baby, you can buy me,
Diet Mountain Dew,
And we'll get right down to it,
Me and you.

Layin' on your hood,
Like a flatbed truck,
In the spotlight we see,
Jim and Chuck.
We saw their car from a mile,
Away and it's slowin',
"They say there's a motel dance,
Let's get going."

It's a party, it's a party,
It's a party, it's a party,
It's a party, c-c-come on.

It's a party, it's a party,
It's a party, it's a party,
It's a party, c-c-come on.

Motel six, slow gin fizz,
Swingin' in the lobby,
Do the sunset twist.
I can do it, you can do it,
Move them hips.
Everybody, let's get dangerous.

Wanna reign them suckers,
Line up them lips and,
Plump up them pluckers,
Baby, that's the only,
Way to get them motherfuckers,
To do what you want to.

Whisper you need it,
Under the fairy lights.

Who just don't need 'em.
Sweeter than cherry pie,
But we'll treat 'em,
Meaner than dirt,
They deserve to be hurt,
Do they realize what,
You're worth, worth, worth?

It's a party, it's a party,
It's a party, it's a party,

Drive down the main strip in your pontiac heaven,
Baby you can buy me Diet Mountain Dew,
And we'll get right down to it,
That's me and you!

I'm laying on your hood,
Like it's a flatbed truck,
In the spotlight we see Jim and Chuck,
We saw their car from a mile away,
And it's slowing!
They say there's a motel dance,
Let's get going!

It's a party, it's a party,
It's a party, c-c-come on.

It's a party, it's a party,
It's a party, it's a party,
It's a party, c-c-come on.
