Sam Cooke - Having A Party Lyrics






We're having a party
dancing to the music
played by the DJ
on the radio
the cokes are in the icebox
the popcorn's on the table
me and my baby, we're out here on the floor

So listen, Mr. DJ
keep those records playing
'cause I'm having such a good time
dancing with my baby

Everybody's swinging
Sally's doing that twist now
if you take request, I....
I got a few for you
play that song called Soul Twist
play that one called I Know
don't forget the Mashed Potatoes
no other songs will do

Let me tell you Mr., Mr. DJ
why don't you keep those records playing
'cause I'm having such a good time
dancing with my baby

Having a party--yeah
everybody's swinging--oh we're
dancing to the music--yeah
on the radio--oh we're
having a party--man
everybody's swinging--yeah
dancing to the music--yeah
on the radio--say it one more time

We're having a party--yeah
everybody's swinging--oh we're
dancing to the music--yeah
on the radio (song fades and ends)

    Awesome original made popular by Rod Stewart. Beautiful Soul/R&B don’t need Rock n Roll here, but it makes Rock sweeter. Like Van Halen did “Dancing in the Street” WHAT? because it’s about rhythm!

  47. S.... W....

    One Of Sams Best

  48. R.... O....

    Oh Mr. D J , where did you go? Friday nights ,cold coke , popcorn and dancing with your baby..Oh Mr. D J where did you go 😢

  49. M.... H....

    I have been listening to Sam Cooke since I was a kid. My dad knew and seen him when he was singing gossip. My kinsman managed two different singing gossip groups in the 40s to the early 70s. Those 2 groups had lead singers that would put you on your feet dancing on your knees crying. They was just that good. The people today don't sing, they scream and rap. I listen to music I buy, such as Jazz, soul and opera.

  50. A.... E....

    Check out another soul legend, Lou Rawls, on backing vocals. Just love ‘You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine’ by him

  51. L.... C....

    O love Sam Cooke. I’m from Brasil 🇧🇷

  52. W.... A....

    You can hear lou rawls doing back ground vocals.

  53. W.... S....

    1.1k folks don't know how to have a good time.

  54. A.... R....

    My baby 💕🇵🇷

  55. p.... d....
