From the very first strum of the guitar, you can feel the laid-back, carefree vibe that makes this track so memorable.
Released in 2011, “Red Solo Cup” quickly became an anthem for anyone who’s ever enjoyed a casual get-together with friends. It’s not just a song; it’s a celebration of those spontaneous moments that turn into unforgettable memories. Toby Keith’s live performance of the song in 2012, part of his Show Dog label, captures this spirit perfectly, bringing the audience into the party with him.
What makes “Red Solo Cup” stand out isn’t just its catchy melody or humorous lyrics—it’s the way it taps into a universal experience.

It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best moments in life are the ones where we’re not taking things too seriously. In a world that’s often complicated and stressful, “Red Solo Cup” offers a refreshing break—an invitation to relax, have fun, and enjoy the little things.
So next time you find yourself at a party, raising your red cup in a toast, remember Toby Keith’s ode to this humble yet legendary party accessory. It’s more than just a cup; it’s a symbol of good times, great friends, and the joy of living in the moment.

Lyrics
Two, a-one, two, three
Now, red Solo cup is the best receptacle
For barbecues, tailgates, fairs, and festivals
And you, sir, do not have a pair of testicles
If you prefer drinkin’ from glass
Hey, red Solo cup is cheap and disposable
In 14 years, they are decomposable
And unlike my home, they are not foreclosable
Freddy Mac can kiss my ass, whoo!
Red Solo cup (uh-huh)
I fill you up
Let’s have a party
Let’s have a party
I love you, red Solo cup
I lift you up
Proceed to party
Proceed to party
Now, I really love how you’re easy to stack
But I really hate how you’re easy to crack
‘Cause when beer runs down in front of my back
Well, that, my friends, is quite yucky (here we go now)
But I have to admit that the ladies get smitten
Admirin’ at how sharply my first name is written
On you with a Sharpie when I get to hittin’
On them to help me get lucky
Red Solo cup
I fill you up
Let’s have a party
Let’s have a party
I love you, red Solo cup (what?)
I lift you up
Proceed to party (party)
Proceed to party (proceed to party)
Now, I’ve seen you in blue and I’ve seen you in yellow
But only you, red, will do for this fellow
‘Cause you are the Abbot to my Costello
And you are the Fruit to my Loom (here we go now)
Red Solo cup, you’re more than just plastic
You’re more than amazing, you’re more than fantastic
And believe me that I’m not the least bit sarcastic
When I look at you and say
Red Solo cup, you’re not just a cup
(No! No! No! God, no!)
You’re my, you’re my friend (friend, friend) yeah (life-long)
Thank you for being my friend
Red Solo cup (that’s what I’m talking about)
I fill you up
Let’s have a party (let’s have a party)
Let’s have a party (let’s have a party)
I love you, red Solo cup
I lift you up
Proceed to party
Proceed to party
Red Solo cup
Red Solo (I fill you up)
(Let’s have a party) let’s have a party
(Let’s have a party) let’s have a party
Red Solo cup (oh, red Solo cup)
I lift you up
Let’s have a party
Proceed to party (yeah, yeah)
ba-oh-do
(Solo cup) oh-bo-do
(Solo cup) ba-oh-do
(Solo cup) ah-ooh-doodle-da-do
(Solo cup) uh-huh (what?)
(Solo cup) de-da-pa
(Solo cup) du-de-da-pa
