Verse 1
Here you go, motherfuckers
B
Do you wanna come to a party?
E C#m
My friends picked me up in
E
their truck at 11:30
B
This thing's at a frat house,
E
but the people are cool there
C#m E
Reluctant, I followed, but I never dreamed there would be
B E
someone there who would catch my attention
C#m
I wasn't out searching
E
for love or affection
B
So I paid my three- in and
E
the girls got in free
C#m
Shined the beer for tequila,
E F# B
and we headed into the party
Verse 2
B
And then, in the backyard,
E
some terrible ska band
C#m
Someone in the background
E
was doing a keg stand
B
This place is so lame, all
E
these girls look the same
C#m
All these guys have no game,
E B
I wish I would have stayed in my bed back at home
E C#m
Watching TV alone, where I'd put on some porn,
E
or have sex on the phone
B
Far from people I hate,
E
down from anywhere State
C#m
Trying to intoxicate girls to give
E F#
them head after the party
B
Verse 3
C#m E
And then I saw her standing there with
F# B
green eyes and long blonde hair
C#m E
She wasn't wearing underwear
F#
At least I prayed that she
B C#m
might be the one
E F#
Maybe we'd have some fun
B C#m
Maybe we'd watch the sunrise
E
But that night,
F# E B E C#m
I learned some girls try too hard
E
Some girls try too
Verse 4
B E C#m
hard
E B
Some girls try too hard to impress
E C#m E
With the way that they dress
B
With those things on their chests
E C#m E
And the things they suggest to me
Verse 5
B
I couldn't believe what
E
this lady was saying
C#m
The names she was dropping,
E
the games she was playing
B
She dated this guy who
E
now rides for Black Flys
C#m
How she's down with the wise
E
well- constructed disguise
B
Now I'd rather go dateless,
E
than stay here and hate this
C#m
Her volume of makeup,
E
her fake tits were tasteless
B
So I said I'd call her,
E
but never would bother
C#m
Until I got turned down
E F# B
by another girl at a party
Verse 6
B C#m E
So when you see her standing there with
F# B
green eyes and long blonde hair
C#m E
She won't be wearing underwear
F# B C#m
And you'll discover this girl's not the one,
E F#
and she'll never be fun
B C#m
You should just turn and run,
E F# B E C#m
because you'll find out that some girls try too hard
E
Some girls try too
Verse 7
B E C#m
hard
E B E
And some girls try too hard to impress
C#m
With the way that they dress
E B
With those things on their chest
E C#m
And the things they sug
E
gest to me
B
Verse 8
C#m
E B E C#m
Some girls try too hard
E B
Some girls try too hard
Blink-182 recorded The Party Song in 1999, during the production of their third album, Enema of the State. The song was released on the album, which they recorded in San Diego and Los Angeles over a period of three months. The producer was Jerry Finn, who helped give it a cleaner and more melodic sound. The song stood out for its fast rhythm and energy, typical of pop-punk. The lyrics talk about parties, breakups and teenage life, topics the band members knew well. The song became one of the most popular tracks on the album, which sold over 15 million copies. The band toured constantly, including the Vans Warped Tour, where they gained more attention. The song remains a classic of the band, played at concerts and remembered for its dynamism.
