Kid Creole & the Coconuts - The Lifeboat Party

Welcome to the lifeboat party child
Invitation only for the rank and file

Glad you wore your gabardine pinstripes
Ain't no kind of jeans allowed
Glad you brought a bottle and not your wife
Animals are dangerous in crowds

Welcome to the lifeboat party child
Invitation only for the rank and file

Come on in and say hello to Charlie
He'll let you blow his saxophone
Don't linger in the doorway like Veronica Lake
You should have left the wig at home Welcome to the lifeboat party child
Invitation only for the rank and file

(You gotta know somebody)
Welcome to the lifeboat party child
Celebration's just for the rank and file
Jump in and jive

Oh Monica's been makin' every man in sight
But now she says enough is enough
This party is in honor of the will to survive
So Moni girl you mustn't give up

Oh Welcome to the lifeboat party child
Invitation only for the rank and file
Welcome to the lifeboat party child
Never givin' up no way no how
(You gotta know somebody)
