It’s my party, and I’ll 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
But Judy left the same time
Why was he holding her hand
When he’s supposed to be mine?
It’s my party, and I’ll 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 dancin’ all night
Leave me alone for a while
Till Johnny’s dancin’ with me
I’ve got no reason to smile
It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you …
Judy and Johnny just walked through the door
Like a queen with her king
Oh, what a birthday surprise:
Judy’s wearin’ his ring
It’s my party, and I’ll 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, oh
It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, die if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to … [fade out]

You’re Only Using Me (a simulated live performance at the Mokena Bar & Grill)
Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. Well, this is my last tune for the night, “You’re Only Using Me.”
You’re only using me
That’s the way it seems to be
Oh, you’re only using me
That’s the way it seems to me
When we’re together
Whether night or day
Stay away
From saying you love me
And when you say it, babe
It sounds so cool
Like you don’t mean it
Adding hints up to injury
Don’t you know what you're doing to me?
Oh, don't you care about the way that I feel?
You’re only using me
That’s the way it seems to be
I know, you’re only using me
That’s the way it seems to be
Seconds, minutes, hours
Days and weeks
All get together to say to me
Nothing I can do will change your ways
But I’ll keep trying
And I say, you’re only using me
That’s the way it seems to be
Baby, I know you’re only using me
That’s the way it seems to be …
… do do do do …
Oh, don't you care about the way that I feel?
You’re only using me
That’s the way it seems to be
Baby, I know, you’re only using me
The way it seems to be
You’re only using me
That’s the way I feel every day
You’re only using me
That’s the way it seems to be …
