Paige: Now, we mentioned we have three kids at home. We have a 4 year old boy, a 2 year old boy, and an 8 month old girl. There’s a lot of crying at our house on a typical day. So I’d like to dedicate this Lesley Gore song to our children. It’s called “It’s My Party, and I’ll Cry if I Want to.”
[Chorus]
A A+
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
D Dm
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
A F#m Bm E A D A E
You would cry too if it happened to you
A C
Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
A D
But Judy left the same time
F A
Why was he holding her hand
B7 E
When he's supposed to be mine
A A+
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
D Dm
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
A F#m Bm E A D A E
You would cry too if it happened to you
A C
Play all my records, keep dancing all night
A D
But leave me alone for a while
F A
'Til Johnny's dancing with me
B7 E
I've got no reason to smile
A A+
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
D Dm
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
A F#m Bm E A D A E
You would cry too if it happened to you
[Instrumental break over chorus chords] (substitute F# for F#m)
A C
Judy and Johnny just walked through the door
A D
Like a queen and her king
F A
Oh, what a birthday surprise
B7 E
Judy's wearing his ring
A A+
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
D Dm
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
A F#m Bm E A D A E
You would cry too if it happened to you
A A+
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
D Dm
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
A F#m Bm E A D A E
You would cry too if it happened to you
