Lyrics:
Ducking out my window double story from the ground
From my hammock down my tree and into Melbourne town
Now first stop hit Kanelata to Tedesco land
To down that show - with two shoes and a magic hand man
Now it's a plan as flamenco turns to -down shakin
There's a jazz jam and Julie's got the whole joint bakin'
And anyone who's fakin' gets a quick annihilation
As we movin' destinations on the music train station singing
"On and on and on" (on and on and on)
Check it, check it out Mr Askey's song, cause he's
Late sevens' captain on-the-mic but blows the horn so fierce
That the room ignite
It's like his shuffle got us thinking about doing the down low so where we go?
We take the night cat stop for the Cabrones' show
And here's the point I stop reciting start to dance instead
I heard the city of the deep blue lights it said
"Now get the party started"

It wasn’t hard,
To get the party started

Chillin' at the club
Pimpin' with my money
- Well actually, my parties are more like
Chillin' in the sun
With tea and milk and honey
Tea and lamingtons,
That’s my idea of fun
But I do enjoy the odd occasional bottle of rum
As we learned in the songs that I have previously sung
When its done with fruit juice at a barbecue in the sun
If the afternoon is begun with kangaroo and capsicum
I do eat meat but I don’t like killing',
So don’t crash my party while I’m sitting back chillin'
My oh my, why oh why, are people so viol-lie-ent
I ain’t trying to be a lion, I extend my alliance
To anyone who likes to just sit back and chitchat
Maybe have a jam, spit scats and eat bis-cuits
Before you know its midnight
And you’re running through the moonlight
And you realize-

It wasn’t hard,
To get the party started
It wasn’t hard,
To get the party started

The house party started about eleven or so
Got a call from Krido to tell me that
Dubwo and Hendo started it blow by blow
Now it's a dance-hall rockin' like a Cuban mojo
So bring ya go-go's and your special friends
I've never been diving but I get the bends
When schlam and Mick and Fairooz making the soul news
See we got the bomb track and the D-floor's the fuse
The C-A-T--E-M-P-I-R-E has G-O-T
A party H-A-P-P-E-N-I-N-G and it's a
G-O-Double N-A be seeing
The break of dawn
Then keep on rockin' it
Can you tell me something about last night?

It wasn’t hard,
To get the party started
(Can you tell me something about last night?)
It wasn’t hard,
(Can you tell me something about last night?)
To get the party started
(Can you tell me something about last night?)
