[Verse 1]
Dear bosses and strangers, gossips and cops
Ex-girlfriends and neighbors whose names I won't drop
To anyone who disapproves of anything we're about to do

[Chorus]
I'm sorry for partyin' and Bacardi'n
What's happenin' in the back yard again
It started when a couple friends and some dude in a cardigan
Came rollin' in at 3 AM
I don't know when it's gonna end
So for now, I'm sorry for... whoa
Partyin', partyin'... whoa
Partyin', partyin'

[Verse 2]
Dear judges and lawyers, to the kid that cuts my grass
To the Mardi Gras martyrs, stayin' up late, pickin' up trash
For anyone gettin' caught by a camera phone with your pants off

[Chorus]
I'm sorry for partyin' and Bacardi'n
What's happenin' in the back yard again
It started when a couple friends and some dude in a cardigan
Came rollin' in at 3 AM
I don't know when it's gonna end
So for now, I'm sorry for... whoa
Partyin', partyin'... whoa
Partyin', partyin'

[Bridge]
Dear Grandma in Georgia who ain't even up
Yeah, that picture wasn't for ya
Yeah, that's just my luck

[Chorus]
I'm sorry for partyin' and Bacardi'n
What's happenin' in the back yard again
It started when a couple friends and some dude in a cardigan
Came rollin' in at 3 AM
I don't know when it's gonna end
So for now, I'm sorry for... whoa
Partyin', partyin'... whoa
Partyin', partyin'
Whoa... partyin', partyin'
Whoa... partyin', partyin'
