| There’s a party going on across the hall | 
| I hear the music coming on through my wall | 
| And I know that my baby’s over in there | 
| 'Cause I know my baby’s voice, anywhere | 
| Out there with the party people | 
| Out there having a natural ball | 
| Over there with the party people | 
| Having a good time | 
| And that ain’t all | 
| I’d love to join the crowd | 
| And be the one that holler out loud | 
| But I’m really not in the groove | 
| But I’d love to stick around | 
| And get in that mood | 
| Out there with the party people | 
| Out there with that soulful set | 
| Out there with the party people | 
| Hold on baby | 
| You see I ain’t ready yet | 
| Got to get in the happening crowd | 
| When I’m feeling sad and lonely | 
| There’s no place a peaceful man can rest | 
| If you’re not in the soulful mood | 
| Got to get on my dancing shoes | 
| You see tonight, I’m gonna dance away my blues | 
| And I know my baby’s over there | 
| 'Cause I know my baby’s voice, anywhere | 
| Out there with the party people | 
| Out there having a natural ball | 
| Out there with the party people | 
| Wait up my baby | 
| 'Cause that ain’t all | 
| Soul music is everywhere | 
| I smell soul food in the air | 
| And I know my baby’s over there | 
| That’s why I’m gonna make it | 
| No matter where | 
| Out there with the party people | 
| Over there having a natural ball | 
| Out there with the party people |
