It's My Party Lyrics

[00:00.54] It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
[00:04.40] Cry if I want to
[00:05.98] Cry if I want to
[00:08.07] You would cry too, if it happened to you
[00:15.15] Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
[00:18.70] But Judy left the same time
[00:22.93] Why was he holding her hand
[00:25.95] When he's supposed to be mine?
[00:29.96] It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
[00:33.69] Cry if I want to
[00:35.49] Cry if I want to
[00:37.30] You would cry too, if it happened to you
[00:44.39] Play all my records, keep dancing all night
[00:47.66] But leave me alone for awhile
[00:51.04] 'Til Johnny's dancing with me
[00:55.30] I've got no reason to smile
[00:58.79] It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
[01:01.94] Cry if I want to
[01:03.70] Cry if I want to
[01:05.96] You would cry too, if it happened to you
[01:11.89]
[01:26.30] Judy and Johnny just walked through the door (walked through the door)
[01:31.28] Like a queen with her king
[01:35.19] Oh, what a birthday surprise
[01:37.84] Judy's wearing his ring
[01:41.41] It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
[01:44.52] Cry if I want to
[01:46.49] Cry if I want to
[01:49.62] You would cry too, if it happened to you
[01:56.03] Oh, it's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
[01:59.51] Cry if I want to
[02:01.44] Cry if I want to
[02:03.15] You would cry too, if it happened to you
[02:09.70] It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
[02:12.82]
