Too Rowdy for a Quiet Night

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You said, “One more round,” I said, “That’s the plan” Now I’m wearing someone’s birthday hat again The kitchen’s packed, the speaker’s on the chair And Uncle Ray is teaching us to air-guitar in there [Pre-Chorus] We were fine till the table became a stage Now the neighbors know the words to every name [Chorus] We got too rowdy, too loud, too late Spilled the chips and shook the garden gate Hands up high, but the lamps stay down We’re the reason folks are leaving this town Too rowdy, laughing till we ache Promised we’d behave—well, that promise can wait When the sun comes up, we’ll make it right But we’re too rowdy for a quiet night [Verse 2] The dog stole a hot dog, the dog’s now king Somebody’s harmonizing with the doorbell ring I’m on cleanup duty, holding one shoe And I don’t even know whose jacket’s in the stew [Pre-Chorus] We were fine till the sofa took a flying leap Now the whole block’s wide awake and counting sheep [Chorus] We got too rowdy, too loud, too late Spilled the chips and shook the garden gate Hands up high, but the lamps stay down We’re the reason folks are leaving this town Too rowdy, laughing till we ache Promised we’d behave—well, that promise can wait When the sun comes up, we’ll make it right But we’re too rowdy for a quiet night [Bridge] Hold up—check the glass, check the floor Put the wobbly chair back by the door Text the neighbors, say we’ll keep it low Then someone yells, “Encore!”—and there we go [Final Chorus] We got too rowdy, too loud, too late Now we’re sweeping up beside the garden gate Hands down low, let the whole house rest We can be the crew that cleans up best Too rowdy, but we know the score Say we’re sorry, then we say it once more When the sun comes up, we’ll make it right We were too rowdy for a quiet night [Outro] One last laugh, then the whole place still Shoes by the door and a sink to fill
