Oh, oh, oh

Merrymaking, drug takin'
At my place, baby, at my place
Merrymaking,

Come in to my house,
You're invited into my house,
Enter in the back of my house,
Welcoming you into my house,

Come in to my house,
You're invited into my house,
Enter in the back of my house,
Welcoming you into my house,

I've invited loads to my house,
Loads of people come to my house,
They take stuff inside of my house,
And smoke stuff outside of my house,

Merrymaking, drug taking,
At my place, baby, at my place
Merrymaking,

I've seen it before,
Lots of people at my front door,
Lots of people in my front door,
Trying to get into my house,
I've seen it before,
Lots of people in my front door,
Lots of people at my front door,
Trying to get into my house,

Merrymaking, drug takin'
At my place, baby, at my place
Merrymaking, drug takin
At my place, baby, at my place
Merrymaking,

We're merrymaking,
All the stuff that you've been taking,
All the stuff that I've been taking,
All the stuff that we've been taking,
We're merrymaking, 
All the stuff that we've been taking,
All the stuff that I've been taking,
All the stuff that you've been taking,

Merrymaking, drug takin',
At my place, baby, at my place
Merrymaking, drug takin',
At my place, baby, at my place

(merrymaking)
(drug taking)

Merrymaking, drug takin',
At my place, baby, at my place
Merrymaking, drug takin',
At my place, baby, at my place
Merrymaking, drug takin',
At my place, baby, at my place
Merrymaking, drug takin',
At my place, baby, at my place
Merrymaking, 

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
