lyrics

Here come the weekend looking for some fun
But the world's such a mess you've got to help someone
Some got too much
Some got no food
Put it all together and it puts me in the mood for the
(chorus)
Rent party
Friday night
Rent party
Doing right
Rent party
Feeling good
Best party in the neighborhood
Yeh yeh yeh rent party

You got the Swales and the Pities and the Laughing Boys
You got Chris Dickson keeping track of the noise
Dave Wagner smiling at the door
Do the fifty-fifty and we're giving some more
We got all original and cover bands
We got wayward rockers making one last stand
Watch 'em groove
Watch 'em play
Like Tarquin going all of the way to the rent party...
(chorus)

You got Sue and Marty always shooting pool
You got Scott and Rebecca always looking cool
Five bucks get you three bands
And the Elks Club president's Wall of Men
You got Bob and Jimmy pouring three dollar beers
You got the seven-dollar pitcher of the Yuengling here
South Orange native son
Deena she's the sweetest one at the rent party
(chorus)
