Quincy Jones
It’s My Party
[Chorus]
It's my party, 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

[Verse 1]
Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
Judy left the same time
Why was he holdin' her hand?
He's supposed to be mine

[Chorus]
Oh, it's my party, 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

[Verse 2]
Play all my records, keep dancin' all night
Leave me alone for awhile
'Til Johnny's dancin' with me
I got no reason to smile

[Chorus]
Oh, it's my party, 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
[Interlude]
Judy, you know you're my best friend
But all good friends must come to an end
And don't you know, sisters come before happy birthday blisters
I learned the hard way, again

[Verse 3]
Judy and Johnny just walked through the door
Like a queen with her king
Oh, what a birthday surprise
Judy's wearin' his ring

[Chorus]
Oh, it's my party, 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, it's my party, I'll cry if I want to
Oh, I'll cry, ooh, I'll cry
You would cry, too, if it happened to you
