Oh baby, let's have a party,
Let's have a party,
Let's all begin;
Let's all begin;
You bring the women,
You bring the women.
And I'll bring the gin.
I'll bring the gin.

Let's go for a ride,
Let's go for a ride,
Ain't going far,
Ain't going far,
You fix the blow-out,
You fix the blow-out,
Boy, and I'll drive the car.

I can't dance,

Got ants in my pants,
Got ants in my pants.
I can't dance,
I can't dance,
Got ants in my pants!

Boys, I can't dance,
I got ants in my pants.
Oh, man, Chick can't dance.
Why?
He's got ants in his pants.
