Summer in the city
Getting hotter every year
We'll have to throw a party
When the smoke clears
Hit the bodega
And grab a couple beers
Tell all of the neighbors
To come on over here
'Cause there's a party on the roof
It's a party on the roof
Back at home in Nashville
We used to party in the fields
And out in Pennsylvania
They party in the steel
Well, here in New York City
We don't have a lot of space
But I know a lot of nice people
And I know a little place
Let's have a party on the roof
It's a party on the roof
Oh, I love my old building
On the corner of the park
I watch the city from the fire escape
See it glimmer in the dark
I hear church bells in the morning
Call to prayer in the afternoon
By the time it hits the weekend
Well, you know what we'll be doing
We'll have a party on the roof
(There's a party, there's a party, there's a party on the roof)
It's a party on the roof (we'll have a party)
(There's a party, there's a party, there's a party on the roof)
We'll have a party on the roof (we'll have a party)
(There's a party, there's a party, there's a party on the roof)
It's a party on the roof (we'll have a party)
(There's a party, there's a party, there's a party on the roof)
