HAVING A PARTY 
Live 15 Aug 1982 version
[Spoken intro:] That's pretty close, huh? All right, this is for, uh, this is
for all the people that were around in, I guess the summer of '76. Just fired it -- you guys
weren't around in summer of '76, man!
We're havin' a party
Everybody's swingin'
Dancin' to the music
On the radio
Now listen, Mister DJ
Keep those records playin'
'Cause I'm havin' such a good time
Dancin' with my baby
We're havin' a party
Everybody's swingin'
Dancin' to the music
On the radio
So listen, Mister DJ
Keep those records playin'
'Cause I'm havin' such a good time
Dancin' with my baby
Everybody's swingin'
Obie's doin' the twist, now
If you take requests, I
Got a few for you
Don't forget the "Soul Twist"
Play that song called "I Know"
You got play "Sue Me"
No other song will do
(We're havin' a party)
'Cause we're havin' a party
Everybody's swingin', oh, yes
Dancin' to the music
On the radio
So listen, Mister DJ
Keep those records playin' (records)
'Cause I'm havin' such a good time
Dancin' with my baby
Play it now, somebody! On the piano!
Throw me the guitar, I gotta keep going!
Everybody's swinging
Obie doin' the twist, now
If you take requests, I
Got a few for you
Don't forget the "Soul Twist"
Play that song called "I Know"
Don't forget "Sue Me"
No other songs will do
Come on, boys!
Everybody, now!
(We're havin' a party)
That's good!
(Everybody's swingin')
