Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Everyone's happy, finally it's the weekend

All the hard work's behind me, yeah

And I just invited all my friends

I'm 'bout to throw something on the grill (Yeah, grill)

And get together and play some cards, yeah

A couple of drinks, something to smoke, and do our thing, yeah

No one's got hatin' in their hearts, whoa

[Verse 2]

A backyard party

A backyard party

(We're just havin') A backyard party

Yeah (We're just havin') a backyard party

[Verse 3]

Whoa, oh, I thank God it's summer

(Thank God it's summer)

'Cause it feels so good to be outside, yeah

And the music sounds like heaven (Music's like heaven) yeah

Make me wanna grab a towel and clean my ride

Oh, first I'ma throw something on the grill, yeah (On the grill)

And then mingle with the girls (Mingle with the girls)

And I wish that they could feel this celebration

All around the world, hey, hey, it's

[Verse 4]

A backyard party

Oh, a backyard party

(We're just havin') A backyard party

Yeah (We're just havin') A backyard party

[Verse 5]

And even if (Even if it looks like rain) oh-ho

If it looks like rain

(I believe that joy's gonna chase the rain away)

Rain, rain, go away

('Cause we're gonna take some shots) We'll take some shots, yeah

(And just hope for a brighter day) Oh, and just hope for a brighter day

[Verse 6]

I feel like yeah

I feel like whoa

I feel like yeah

I feel like whoa

[Verse 7]

All we're doin is havin' a backyard party

Yeah, a backyard party

We're just havin', oh

A backyard party

Everyone's invited too

(Oh) A backyard party

I wanna know

(Oh) A backyard party

Listen, the music is loud and the atmosphere's cool

A backyard party

And loud is this, you know how we do

A backyard party

I got table drink and potato chips, and barbecue (Hey, hey)

A backyard party

The sun is shining and the sky's so blue (Hey)

A backyard party (Whoa)
