(Party lights, I see the party lights)
Pa-a-a-a-a-r-ty
(They're red and blue and green)
Li-i-ghts
(Everybody in the crowd is there)
Mama, I wanna go, go, go
(Please let me make the scene)
Go, go, go, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Mama, Mama)

Well, Mama dear, oh, tell me, do you hear
They're partying tonight
I tell you, I can't sleep, because across the street
Oh-oh-ooh, I see the party lights

I see the lights, I see the party lights
They're red and blue and green
Oh, everybody in the crowd is there
But you won't let me make the scene

Well, Mama dear, oh look-a here, oh dear
There goes Mary Lou
I see Tommy and Joe, oh-oh, and Betty and Sue
Oh-oh-oh-oh, there goes my boyfriend too

I see the lights, I see the lights, I see the party lights
They're red and blue and green
Oh, everybody in the crowd is there
But you won't let me make the scene

Ah, listen to the party, Mama

Hey, Mama dear, a-look-a here, oh dear
I'm feeling, oh, so blue
They're doin' the twist, the fish, the mashed potatoes too
I'm here a-lookin' at you

I see the lights, I see the lights, I see the party lights
They're red and blue and green
Why, everybody in the crowd is there
But you won't let me make the scene

They're doin' the fish, they're doin' the twist
The watusi, the mashed potatoes
I see the lights, I see the lights
They're doin' the bop, I wanna go
(Mama, Mama, Mama)
I wanna go, I wanna go
(I see the lights, I see the party lights)
