[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
Play all my records, keep dancing all night
But leave me alone for a while
Til Johnny s dancing with me
I ve got no reason to smile
[Chorus]
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
[instrumental break over chorus chords (substitute for )]
[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)
Judy and Johnny just walked through the door
Like a queen and her king
Oh, what a birthday surprise
Judy s wearing his ring
[Chorus]
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
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
