Invitations to my party
Send Jones an inviting card
He got his mean streak from the gutter
Got his kindness from GodNow tugboats paint the river
Carry coal to the city in white dock liners
Happiness on the uptown side
At my party in the morning tideOoh, la, la, la, blackpatch
Ooh, la, la, la, blackpatch
Ooh, la, la, la, blackpatch
In blackpatch, in blackpatchClothespins on wash ropes
Window to window tie
Socks and bells and nightgowns
Tassels in the morning, tassels in the morning skyPeople, are you ready?
(Ready, ready)
People, are you trying?Ready, ready, ready, ready
(Ready, I'm ready)
I'm ready, I'm readyWomanchild on the side street
Flashing in blackpatch
Lipstick on her reefer
Waiting for a match
Enjoy the lyrics !!!
