The Lyrics

#29 in the H2G2/White Album series. Thanks to PETER again for the idea for this one, and for several helpful quotes from the book. This is about an airborn party that's into its fourth generation by the time our main characters get there. ENJOY all you project followers.
A party started one vacation
Well, you know, you would think it wasn’t long
Fast-forward sev’ral generations
Well, you know, it’s surviving, going strong
(Some) astro-guys fit it with rockets
Now it flies, it’s hard to knock it out

Don't you know it’s flying free, all night
Don't you know it’s flying free, all night
Don't you know it’s flying free, all night

You say you got an invitation?
Well, you know, you’re excited, maybe fun
It left the world in degradation
Well, from those - guacamole raiding runs
The band started playing a song list of maybe eight
Played each song hundreds of times and it’s one sad state

Don't you know it's fun to be in flight.
Don't you know it's fun to be in flight.
Don't you know it's fun to be in flight.

Now all the guests have had relations
Well, you know, this gene pool is shallow sized
They’ve organized a federation
Well, you know, as much as drunks can organize
The guests will be carrying on in their party speech
They’ll talk with charisma and wit that you just can’t teach

Don't you know we’re flying free, all night
Don't you know we’re flying free, all night
Don't you know we’re flying free, all night


[BONUS STANZAS]

The carpet has reached saturation
Well, you know, all the stains are inches thick
The booze all gets refrigeration
Well, you know, so the guests stop getting sick
They have sev’ral probes up in orbit to harvest booze
They drink ‘cause they’re keeping a buzz that they just can’t lose

Don’t try to have a conversation
Well, you know, you’ll get laughs but never heard
They’re face will show you admiration
Well, you know, they won’t hear a single word
They’ll wine and they’ll dine you and gibber fanatical
They’re speech will be slurred, they’ll make errors grammatical

Party on Dude! (Only one "generation" to go for your project now, right?).

Generation number 9 is going to be killer... The lyrics in that song are barely even recognizable so good luck! This one rocked! It was awesome and off the wall and even though I didn't read this part of the series (I started reading the whole series again because I need something to do while traveling on plane rides to and from Florida this week) so hopefully I'll find out more about this party soon.
