The Party's Still Going on Lyrics

Well, you can wander on down to Camp Street
Any old Saturday night
Right next door to the corner store
Is the house with the Christmas lights

There's a bad dog sign on the fence post
Just throw that dog a bone
And step on in 'cause we're all friends
And the party's still going on

Yeah, the party's still going on
We're gonna rock until the break of dawn
You won't get an answer on the phone
'Cause we'll be going strong
Well, come on in and make yourself at home
'Cause the party's still going on

Well, my mama's got a stand up bass in the corner
She's holding down the groove
Everybody's doing the second line
Dancing all around the room

My papa's in the kitchen, I wonder what he's fixing
It sure is smelling good
He's throwing everything he's got into the pot
He's gonna feed the whole neighborhood

Yeah, the party's still going on
We're gonna rock until the break of dawn
You won't get an answer on the phone
'Cause we'll be going strong
Well, come on in and make yourself at home
Because the party's still going on

Well now, nobody's thinking 'bout the hard times
All your worries just fly away
When you're moving your feet to that funky beat
And the band begins to play

You can forget about all the bad news
And how the wind may blow
Just come on down to Camp Street, y'all
And let your troubles go

And have the party's still going on
We're gonna rock until the break of dawn
You won't get us on the telephone
'Cause we'll be going strong
Come on in and make yourself at home
Because the party's still going on

Yeah, the party's still going on
We're gonna rock until the break of dawn
You won't get an answer on the telephone
Because we'll be going strong

Come on in and make yourself at home
We're gonna have us whole lotta fun
Well, come on in and make yourself at home
Because the party's still going on

Marcia Ball (born 20 March 1949) is an American blues singer and pianist born in Orange, Texas but who grew up in Vinton, Louisiana. This same region spawned other American blues greats, including Clifton Chenier, Janis Joplin, Lonnie Brooks, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Kenny Neal.

Born into a musical family, Ball began playing piano at age 5, and showed an early interest in New Orleans style piano playing, as exemplified by Fats Domino, Professor Longhair, and James Booker. In 1970 at age 21, she started a progressive country band called Freda and the Firedogs in Austin, Texas; in 1974 she began her solo career.

Ball is known for her piano style, which shows elements of zydeco, swamp blues and boogie woogie. Most of her most well-known recordings came out on Rounder Records in the 1980s and early 1990s. She was inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame in 1990.

In 2008, Ball made a guest appearance with the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Revue.
