Oooh
Duh, duh, duh, duh
Ow! Oooh
Duh, duh, duh, duh
Duh, duh, duh, duh

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

Duh, duh, duh, duh
Duh, duh, duh, duh
Duh, duh, duh, duh

I live in Room 203
I got two cute girls living next door to me
One's name is Lucy and the other's Kim
Late at night, you can hear them so loud
They oughta be ashamed making strange noises
It sounds like a choo-choo train. (Oooh, oooh.)
Now I'm not complaining
All I'm really saying is I wanna do it too

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

Mmmm
Duh, duh, duh, duh
Duh, duh, duh, duh
Oooh

Let me tell you 'bout my old lady
When we first met, we used to go head up every chance we get
Now times have passed and we're slowing down
Sometimes two weeks go by before we fool around
You're darn right I'm envious
'Cause what I'm hearing through my walls sounds like happiness
Kinky little baby, you're driving 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
I wanna wake up the neighbors at a quarter to four
I wanna party (Party) like the people next door
Come on, come on, come on, come on, (Bang on the walls,)
Come on, wake up, baby. (rock on the floor.)
I wanna party (Oooh) like the people next door
Come on, come on, come on, come on
(Wake up the neighbors at a quarter to four.) Come on, wake up, baby, (Ow!)
And let me party like the people next door

Duh, we, duh
Duh, we, duh
Duh, we, duh
Duh, we, duh
Duh, we, duh. (Mmmm.)
Hey, hey. Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

I've tried, but I can't get no sleep
I know the feeling
I need a woman, mmmm, to fulfill my needs
I know the feeling
Don't let me go to bed hungry
I'm starving for something to eat
Don't let me go to bed lonely, no
'Cause I need some company

To help me bang on the walls, rock on the floor
I wanna party (Ow!) like the people next door
I wanna wake up the neighbors (neighbors) at a quarter to four
I wanna party (Party) like the people next door
Come on, come on, come on, come on, (Bang on the walls,)
Come on now, baby. (rock on the floor.)
Let me party (Party) like the people next door

Ding dong
Bang, bang, bang
Hey, it's your next door neighbor
Can I come in?
I wanna join the party, please!
I ain't gonna hurt nobody
I can't sleep
