[Gentleman, let's broaden our minds. Lawrence!]

(Oh, yeah)

All hail, the new king in town
Young and old, gather round
(Yeah)
Black and white, red and green
(Funky)
The funkiest man you've ever seen

Tell you what his name is
Partyman, partyman
Rock a party like nobody can
Rules and regulations, no place in his nation
Partyman, partyman

Party people, say it now, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!"
Somebody holler if you wanna party

"Ladies and gentlemen, no pictures, please!"

Get it up, oh yeah
Partyman, partyman
Get it up, get it up

"Ooh, I love purple"

I rock the party, I rock the house
I rock the whole world, north, east and south
In the west, seventeen horns blowin'

Partyman, partyman
(Lose me now boy)
Get it up
All hail the new king in town

Ain't nothin' but a muffin
We gotta lotta butter to go
(Y'say aye, an' I like ya 'way, but don't come now)
And if it break when it bend
You better not put it in, uh

Giddy up
(Ride 'em boy)
Partyman, partyman
Partyman
Partyman, partyman

Young and old, gather round
Everybody hail the new king in town
