Welcome to the Lifeboat Party, Child - Kid Creole And The Coconuts

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

Go on in and say hello to Charlie

He’ll let you blow his saxophone

Don’t linger in the door without Veronica Lake

Leave the colored guys alone

Welcome to the lifeboat party, child

Invitation only for the rank and file

You got to know somebody

Welcome to the lifeboat party, child

Celebration' just for the rank and file

Jumpin' and jumpin'

Oh, Monica’s been making every man in sight

But, now she say’s enough is enough

This party is in honor of the will to survive

So, Monica you mustn’t give up

Welcome to the lifeboat party, child

Invitation only for the rank and file

Welcome to the lifeboat party, child

Never give it up, no way no how

You got to know somebody
