Let's Sing Together: It's My Party

I often feel that each generation is defined by the music of the generation. One of my many favorites was sung by Lesley Gore, "It's My Party." Sing along with me you crazy monument builders!


It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you


Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
But Judy left the same time
Why was he holding her hand
When he's supposed to be mine


It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you


Then all my records keep dancing all night
But leave me alone for a while
'Til Johnny's dancing with me
I've got no reason to smile


It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you


Judy and Johnny just walked thru the door
Like a queen with her king
Oh what a birthday surprise
Judy's wearing his ring


It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you


Oh-oh-oh It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to.....
