• To those ready to leave, your coats are being washed
    It seems something's spilled on them and now you have to stay
    At least until I'm finished saying what I need to say
    Yes, it seems bad now, but once your spouse shows it will start
    You think that leaving is the best choice, but the party's only just begun
    There are still more than plenty of reasons to stay and have fun
    I'm sorry. It seems some of my guests have hurt you;
    Worry not friend, for they'll soon meet their end
    Because, if I don't kick them out first,
    Just be happy knowing they're better off worse
    And the party seems better from their seat and their drink
    It must be so sad sitting alone in that corner
    But at the rate that they're acting I'll be calling a coroner
    So just know that the party starts off really slow
    But once they drink their happiness away, it gets louder
    And the music is happy and the people are prouder
    The food will taste blander, but the love will be stronger
    The dances will slow, but the hearts will beat harder
    Yes, guests will leave early and it will be sad
    Especially after your mom and your dad
    Your coats will be clean soon, just wait and you'll see
    That they can be warmer than you thought they could be
    And the rain beating down on the roof and the limo
    Is helping the music to keep up with its tempo
    And the thunder is booming so the party is covered
    In case those that left early are sadly discovered
    And yes, time will seem quicker as the night presses on
    And you'll long for the suffering that is now just and gone
    But know, now more than ever, that the night is still young

    So please do not leave 'til the light of the sun
