And the mice that were there they weren’t even invited/ And the day of the affair had never even been decided/ And the canopy was partially propped up in the backyard/ And no one’s even sure if mamma sent out invitation cards
Well papa burned the bacon badly but he undercooked the casserole/ And the hotdogs disappeared like they’d up and gone out for a stroll/ And the platypus was putting puzzle pieces in the penguin’s purse/ And the hamsters hunkered down in the bathroom working on a voodoo curse
Oh no we never, ever could have known/ It’d be the very worst party ever thrown, the worst party ever thrown
And the blue jay couldn’t sing a lick/ We probably shouldn’t have paid her before the gig/ And the clown couldn’t juggle to save his life/ He was just a snake so no one was surprised
When the party was over papa turned to momma and he said/ “For just how long has that bird been sleeping on your head?”/ After I swept up the Jell-O I fell asleep right away/ Then I woke up in the morning with giraffes on my porch saying, “We thought the party was today!”
Oh no we never, ever could have known/ It’d be the very worst party ever thrown, the worst party ever thrown
