Song Lyrics

Jeannie got up early
while Johnny stayed in bed
She couldn't sleep last night
From something that he said
Johnnie said: "He's leavin'
Said he's never coming back again"

It was back in Franklin High School
Where he first laid eyes on her
A sassy little senior,
Jeannie gave his heart a stir
Johnnie wanted Jeannie
More than any girl he'd had before

It was just another party
Where they made their rendezvous
"Jeannie," Johnnie said:
"I've never met a girl like you,
When this party's over,
Do you think that I could drive you home?"

Jeannie had her questions
When the romance had its start
But Johnny had the looks
That shot an arrow thru her heart
Before the night was over,
Jeannie went and gave it all away

The Party's over,
It was fun while while it lasted,
But it ain't no fun no more
The party's over and
Now they wondered what they hurried for

Jeannie called up Johnnie
She said: "Hey,I've got bad news"
Johnnie, said: "Don't worry babe,
I'll take care of you"
They had a wedding party for their family
And a few close friends

The Party's over,
It was fun while while it lasted,
But it ain't no fun no more
The party's over and
Now they wondered what they hurried for
I guess they wondered what they hurried for
The party's over


He used to say "I Love you"
'Till their marriage fell apart
Now he says: "Hey Jeannie, baby,
Give me back my heart"
Jeannie's holding Junior
She said: "Johnnie, thanks a lot"

Now Johnnies got his freedom
And Jeannies got the kids
Jeannie's always dreamin'
'Bout the things she never did
Ain't it funny how infatuation
Fooled them into playing house?

The Party's over,
It was fun while while it lasted,
But it ain't no fun no more
The party's over and
Now they wondered what they hurried for
Yes, they wondered what they hurried for

The Party's over,
It was fun while while it lasted,
But it ain't no fun no more
The party's over and
Now they wondered what they hurried for
Yes, they wondered what they hurried for
