Jerry at Midnight

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Jerry got a belly like a beach ball stuck. Retired so early, now he out for luck. White sneakers on, but the man won’t jog. He walk in the room like, “Where the party, dog?” He got a grin that says he beat the clock. Got a nap at noon, then he back on block. He’ll tell you one joke, then he tell it twice. Then he pat your back like, “That’s what I like.” [Pre-Chorus] He don’t need a seat, he need a toast. He love that life, he love that roast. When the cups go up, he comes alive. When they go dry, Jerry can’t survive. [Chorus] Jerry, Jerry, party all night Jerry, Jerry, feeling just right Jerry, Jerry, keep the glass near Life of the party when Jerry is here Jerry, Jerry, party all night Jerry, Jerry, out of his sight Jerry, Jerry, he’s on fire But Jerry don’t go much higher [Verse 2] He’ll show up late with a bag full of lies. Say he “just had one,” but I see the eyes. He laugh so hard at his own clean joke. Then he lean real close like, “Pass that smoke.” He dance with the aunties, he dance with the uncles. He dance with the band till the floorboards crumple. He’ll make friends fast in a room full of strangers, From Tehran to Tampa, he’s linking arrangers. [Pre-Chorus] He don’t need a couch, he need a cup. One little sip and he lights right up. He’ll sing with the crew, he’ll front like a star. Then forget his keys but remember the bar. [Chorus] Jerry, Jerry, party all night Jerry, Jerry, feeling just right Jerry, Jerry, keep the glass near Life of the party when Jerry is here Jerry, Jerry, party all night Jerry, Jerry, out of his sight Jerry, Jerry, he’s on fire But Jerry don’t go much higher [Bridge] Mister retired, still clocking in At every little shindig, he’s wearing that grin He’ll bring the jokes, he’ll bring the cheer Then ask for a refill like it’s new this year [Chorus] Jerry, Jerry, party all night Jerry, Jerry, feeling just right Jerry, Jerry, keep the glass near Life of the party when Jerry is here Jerry, Jerry, party all night Jerry, Jerry, out of his sight Jerry, Jerry, he’s on fire But Jerry don’t go much higher
