Four o'clock, the party's over
I should have left it early
Miss your arm around my shoulder
Walking home alone

(What a lousy party! What a lousy party!)
Thought we might get something going
I didn't know the danger
You were there to make a showing
And everything went wrong
Should have spent the evening elsewhere
I felt just like a stranger
You were the only one I knew there
And I did not belong

But if I were a winner, winner
The latest in fashion
There to be seen
Would you notice me then?
A member of the jet-set, jet-set
All panting with passion
There to be seen
Would you dance with me then?
(What a lousy party! What a lousy party!)

When I got the invitation
My heart jumped to conclusions
Trusting my imagination I left in a dream
Never found the perfect lover
Born of my illusions
Jury stands for to discover if I'm what they think
A jet-set fool! Am I anything for you?
(What a lousy party! What a lousy party!)
