about

There’s a house around the corner from me where seniors hung out on the porch blasting ‘70s soul, funk and disco. Sometimes hip-hop and bounce. It was the place to be. Hook vocals by Susan Hwang (Lusterlit, Bushwick Book Club), bass by Charlie Nieland (Lusterlit, Bushwick Book Club).

lyrics

This is our Party Porch
we done it all before
we welcome rich and poor
the legend and the lore
This is our Party Porch
got chairs against the door
you want it more and more
we give you what-for

This is our Party Porch
can’t take it on tour
can’t buy it in a store
you got to do your chores
This is our Party Porch
This ain’t no price war
we step the two and four
swinging hammers like Thor

This is our Party Porch
it’s what a porch is for
we always shake the floor
we party to the core

This is our Party Porch
bark like a Labrador
tap on a Commodore
harder than iron ore
This is our Party Porch
we dance ‘til we sore
that Big Freedia score
tougher than a matador
This is our Party Porch
straight to the Gulf shore
sometimes the rain pour
lightning and thunderstorm
This is our Party Porch
loud enough in Singapore
bouncing down in Salvador
twerkin’ through to Terpsichore

This is our Party Porch
it’s what a porch is for
we always shake the floor
we party to the core

This is our Party Porch
herbivore and carnivore
rise above like sycamore
carry weight like stevedore
This is our Party Porch
magic like Dumbledore
outlast the dinosaurs
wilder than a wild boar
This is our Party Porch
Breonna love for sure
Send our kids off to war
Cops with guns we do deplore
This is our Party Porch
Kaepernick for the score
Ruby Bridges through the door
New Orleans for ever more

This is our Party Porch
it’s what a porch is for
we always shake the floor
we party to the core
