Composer: Ray Parker, Jr.

I wanna bang on the walls, rock on the floor
I wanna party like the people next door
Wake up the neighbors at a quarter to four
I wanna party like the people next door

I live in room 203
I got two cute girls livin’ next door to me
One’s name is Lucy and the other’s Kim
Late at night you can hear them

So loud, they out to be ashamed
Makin’ strange noises, it sounds like a choo-choo train (Ooh, ooh)
Now I’m not complainin’
All I’m really sayin’ is I wanna do it too

I wanna bang on the walls, rock on the floor
I wanna party (Ooh) like the people next door
Wake up the neighbors at a quarter to four
I wanna party (Party) like the people next door

Ooh, let me tell you ‘bout my old lady, when we first met
We used to go head up every chance we’d get
Now times have passed and we’re slowin’ down
Sometimes two weeks go by before we fool around

You’re dynamite, I’m envious
‘Cause what I’m hearin’ through my walls sounds like happiness
Kinky little baby
You’re drivin’ me crazy ‘cause I wanna do it too

I wanna bang on the walls, rock on the floor
I wanna party (Ow) like the people next door
Wake up the neighbors at a quarter to four
I wanna party (Party) like the people next door

Come on, come on, come on, wake up, baby
I wanna party (Mmm...) like the people next door
Come on, come on, come on, wake up, baby
And let me party like the people next door

Ooh, I’m tryin’, but I can’t get no sleep
I know the feelin’
I need a woman to fulfill my needs
I know the feelin’

Don’t let me go when I feel hungry
I’m starvin’ for somethin’ to eat
Don’t let me go when I feel hungry
No, ‘cause I need some company

Help me bang on the walls, rock on the floor
I wanna party (Ow) like the people next door
Wake up the neighbors at a quarter to four
I wanna party (Party) like the people next door
