Lyrics:

A friend of mine told me one early mornin'

(Over at Mary's place, ho)

Said tonight there's gonna be a party goin' on

(Over at Mary's place, ho)

He said 'If you can enjoy a real nice affair

(Over at Mary's place, ho)

Then you'll make it your business to be right there'

(Over at Mary's place, ho)



He said in fact: Meet me (meet me at Mary's place)

We're gonna have (we're gonna have us a ball today)

Why don't you (meet me at Mary's place)

Why don't you meet me (meet me at Mary's place)

We're gonna have (we're gonna have us a ball today)

Why don't you (meet me at Mary's place, ho)



He said: There's one thing I that want you to know

(Over at Mary's place, ho)

You're gonna have a good time before you go

(Over at Mary's place, ho)

He said: There's one more thing that I'm gonna guarantee

(Over at Mary's place, ho)

Got to have fun if you're a man like me

(Over at Mary's place, ho)



If you wanna have fun, meet me (meet me at Mary's place)

We're gonna have (we're gonna have us a ball today)

Why don't you (meet me at Mary's place)

Oh meet me (meet me at Mary's place)

We're gonna have (we're gonna have us a ball today)

Why don't you (meet me at Mary's place, ho)



If you wanna have a good time (meet me at Mary's place)

We're gonna have (we're gonna have us a ball today)

Come on & (meet me at Mary's place)

Oh, meet me (meet me at Mary's place)

We're gonna have (we're gonna have us a ball today)

Come on & (meet me at Mary's place, ho)
