Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Party of Special Things to Do
[Intro]
The camel wore a nightie
At the party of special things to do
[Verse 1]
When the stiff winds blow
The flag don't wiggle
In the party of special things to do
I met the Ace of Love
She took me to her plantation
For love without separation
In the party of special things to do
It could happen to me
It could happen to you
[Verse 2]
I met the Ace of Love
She said I want you to go
To a party of special things to do
And when you're through
I'll be right here waiting for you
Here take these sparks
So that my distant cousins can get along with you
Watch out for the Mirror Man
And Elixir Sue
[Verse 3]
When I got to the party of special things to do
It wasn't hard to find Elixir Sue
I met all the cards, the wild cards
The One-Eyed Jill
The Red Queen
She turned her head
You know what I mean
She turned it back and said:
"I got a brand new game I want to lay on you..."
[Verse 4]
I met them all
At the party of special things to do
When I was done
I was far from through
I returned to the Ace of Love
Now, wouldn't you?
I met them all
I met them all
I met them all
At the party of special things to do
[Outro]
The camel wore a nightie
At the party of special things to do
I met Elixir Sue
I met the Mirror Man...
