    Oh-oh yeah
    Yeah

    All hail, the new king in town
    Young and old, gather 'round, yeah

    (Oh yeah) the funkiest man, you've ever seen

    Tell you what his name is
    Partyman, Partyman
    Rock a party like nobody can
    Rules and regulations, no place in his nation

    In the West, seventeen horns blowin'

    (Lose me now boy)

    (All hail the new king in town)

  • Mizr from Beverly Hills, CaIn Partyman Video, Prince portrays a called Gemini, half Joker, half-Prince character. He was always a huge fan of Batman as a kid. One of the first songs he learned to play was the original Batman Theme song on Panio.
  • Mykl from Baltimore, MdFor true Prince fans - The b-side of this song is a track called "Feel U Up (Short Stroke)". I searched long and hard for the "Long Stroke" version and finally found it in England.
  • Ma_cherie from Little Rock, ArIn Prince's video of this song, he displays a half-Batman, half-Joker character.
