Story behind the song
Marty and Cathy wrote the song about grown-up girls having a sleepover and just plain being "girls" and having fun! Leslie does a wonderful job with this song!
Lyrics
WHOOP-DE-DO
Living in the glamour of the city lights
Us girls were out dancing every Friday night
But we get a little tired of the twist and shout
So we are staying in and vegging out
Take a night off from the fashion show
Leave off the makeup, make yourself at home
Got all the entertainment we could need
Rent 4 videos, you get one free
CHORUS:
It is a big-town, party down WHOOP-DE-DO
Settle back into a couch potato groove
Order pepperoni, uncork the wine
By Letterman time, we will be feeling fine
Put on your Cowboys jersey and your big bunny shoes
It is a big-town, party down, doing nothing WHOOP-DE-DO
Gossip about the people back in our hometown
Who is still single, who settled down
Wait a little longer for the lower rates
Call Aunt Wanda, she is always up late
Wanda says have you found your Tom Cruise
We wanna read about you in the hometown news
And by the way city girls, something is not right
Now what you doing home on a weekend night?
CHORUS: (Repeat)
BRIDGE:
As the night rolls on, we make shadows on the wall
Donald Duck sounds and phony phone calls
Share deep secrets, makeup tips
And a three-pound bag of chocolate chips
CHORUS: (Repeat)
It is a big town, party down WHOOP-DE-DO
Settle back into a couch potato groove
Get Home Shopping Network on the line
I need a life-size Elvis for $ 9.95
Put on your Cowboys Jersey and your big bunny shoes
It is a big-town, party down, doing nothing WHOOP-DE-DO
