Its My Party (Lesley Gore)

Its My Party

剛剛過世的Lesley Gore是
美國1960年代的少女歌星，
而這首“Its My Party”是她的第一首成名曲。
歌詞作者是Seymour Gottlieb，
不過掛名的是唱片公司的三位音樂家
John Gluck, Wally Gold 和 Herb Weiner。
據說歌詞是真有其事，
發生在Weiner女兒的生日派對上。
這首歌在1963六月初在排行榜上奪魁。

(接在這首歌之後的頭名就是坂本 九的"Sukiyaki")

Its My Party

Its my party, and Ill cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
Judy left the same time
Why was he holding her hand
When hes supposed to be mine?

Its my party, and Ill cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you

Play all my records, keep dancing all night
But leave me alone for a while
Til Johnnys dancing with me
Ive got no reason to smile

Its my party, and Ill cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you

Oh, Judy and Johnny just walked through that door
Like a queen with her King
Oh what a birthday surprise
Judys wearin his ring

Its my party, and Ill cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
