Party with you...

Everyone around the world, come on!

Celebrate good times, come on!

Celebrate good times, come on!

There's a party going on right here
A celebration to last throughout the years
So bring your good times and your laughter, too
We're gonna celebrate your party with you
Come on now

Celebration
Let's all celebrate and have a good time
Celebration
We gonna celebrate and have a good time

It's time to come together
It's up to you
What's your pleasure

Everyone around the world, come on!

Party with you...
Pa-party with you...
