It’s My Party Lyrics By Lesley Gore

    it’s my party and i’ll cry if i want to
    cry if i want to cry if i want to
    you would cry too if it happened to you

    nobody knows where my johnny has gone
    but judy left the same time
    why was he holding her hand
    when he’s supposed to be mine

    it’s my party and i’ll cry if i want to
    cry if i want to cry if i want to
    you would cry too if it happened to you

    play all my records keep dancing all night
    but leave me alone for awhile
    ’til johnny’s dancing with me
    i’ve got no reason to smile

    it’s my party and i’ll cry if i want to
    cry if i want to cry if i want to
    you would cry too if it happened to you

    judy and johnny just walked through the door
    like a queen with her king
    oh what a birthday surprise
    judy’s wearing his ring

    it’s my party and i’ll cry if i want to
    cry if i want to cry if i want to
    you would cry too if it happened to you

    oh it’s my party and i’ll cry if i want to
    cry if i want to cry if i want to
    you would cry too if it happened to you
    oh it’s my party and i’ll cry if i want to
