Lyrics

Suggested by Doug

Jeannie got up early
While Johnny stayed in bed
She couldn't sleep last night
From something that he said
Johnny said he's leaving
Said he's never coming back again

It was back in Franklin High School
Where he first laid eyes on her
A sassy little senior
Jeannie gave his heart a stir
Johnny wanted Jeannie
More than any girl he'd had before

It was just another party
Where they made their rendezvous
Jeannie, Johnny said
I've never met a girl like you
When this party's over
Do you think that I could drive you home?

Jeannie had her questions
When the romance had its start
But Johnny had the looks
That shot an arrow through her heart
Before the night was over
Jeannie went and gave it all away

The party's over
It was fun while while it lasted
But it ain't no fun no more
The party's over
And now they wonder what they hurried for

Jeannie called up Johnny
She said hey, I've got bad news
Johnny said don't worry babe
I'll take care of you
They had a wedding party for their family
And a few close friends

The party's over
It was fun while while it lasted
But it ain't no fun no more
The party's over
And now they wonder what they hurried for
Yes, they they wonder what they hurried for

The party's over

He used to say I love you
'Til their marriage fell apart
Now he says hey Jeannie, baby
Give me back my heart

Jeannie's holding Junior
She said Johnny, thanks a lot
Now Johnny's got his freedom
And Jeannie's got the kids

Jeannie's always dreaming
About the things she never did
Ain't it funny how infatuation
Fooled them into playing house?

The party's over
It was fun while while it lasted
But it ain't no fun no more
The party's over
And now they wonder what they hurried for
Yes, they they wonder what they hurried for

The party's over
It was fun while while it lasted
But it ain't no fun no more
The party's over
And now they wonder what they hurried for
Yes, they they wonder what they hurried for

Yes, the party's over
Oh, the party's over
