The Life of the Party ~ Idina Menzel (Lyrics) ~ YouTube Videos

I stumbled upon this song some years back and have been looking for it ever since. Thanks to YouTube, now I have many versions of the song so I can learn it. I'm featuring the Acappella Version at the top here coz it's my favorite genre. Singing Acappella is not easy and in my opinion... she did very well. Just below the Acappella Version is Lindsey again... this time With Music Accompaniment.

To hear other versions of the same song... scroll down below the lyrics.... BUT Do NOT miss the version by Original Singer: Idina Menzel it's the one I marked as Best Audio below titled Idina Menzel sings 'Life of the party' or you can just click this LINK or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5j41H6439E.

The Life of the Party ~ Idina Menzel (Lyrics)
From the musical 'The Wild Party' 
with book, lyrics, and music by Andrew Lippa.

Who needs money? 
Not me. 
Who needs fortune or fame? 
I don't need a new career 
A sympathetic ear 
A name... 

All I need is time to play 
Only want the game 
Point me to the mike 
I know what I like. 

Don't you wanna be 
The life of the party? 
Don't you wanna be 
The cream of the crop? 
Don't you wanna feel those shivering hits 
'Til someone calls it quits 
Or someone calls a cop? 

Don't you wanna land 
The role of a lifetime? 
Well, you better get down on one knee 
'Cause you could play the life of the party 
If you can pray with me. 
oooo oo oo!

Who needs lovers? 
Not I. 
Who needs Heaven above? 
Don't have time for things unsaid 
For baking bread 
For love. 

All I need is room to fight 
Hand in fisted glove. 
Point me to the sky, 
It's my turn to fly. 

Don't you wanna be 
The life of the party? 
Don't you wanna be 
The top of the heap? 
This is where the jamboree never ends 
Why not be counting friends 
Instead of counting sheep? 

If you wanna join 
The Heavenly Choir 
Hurry up and get yourself in line. 
But don't you pass the life of the party 
Until you pass the wine. 

Let the drinks pour 
Let the crowds roar 
Let the Heavens wildly cheer. 

'Til the sunrise 
Brings the goodbyes 
I'll be here. 
Never fear. 

Who's it gonna be, 
The life of the party? 
Who's it gonna be, 
The king of the hill? 
Don't you wanna be there 
Running the show 
Until it's time to go 
Or 'til it's time to kill? 

Don't you ever wanna be 
Somebody to envy 
Don't you wanna be 
Footloose and free? 
Well, you could be the life of the party 
If you 
Were 
More - 
Like me!

The Life of The Party
Soooooo, here is a performance I did for my Musical Theater Workshop class at Las Positas College. This Is "The Life of the Party" from the off broadway musical "Wild Party." Not one of my favorite performances of myself, only because I was sick and the pianist is horrible. Other than those two reasons, I had MUCHO fun doing this number...it's a very hard piece and I had to belt a G above the staff which I can usually do but this song was hard for some reason...iono probably cuz I had to hold it. My voice gives out at the end too from all the belting...tear, all in all I lvoe the beginning besides a few pitch problems...the end is a little painful though, sorry....hahaha
