Could've been the whiskey
Might've been the gin
Could've been the three or four six-packs, I don't know
17But look at the mess I'm in
4My head is like a football
I think I'm going to die
5Tell me, me oh, me oh my
1Wasn't that a party
1
Someone took a grapefruit
Wore it like a hat
I saw someone under my kitchen table
57Talking to my old tom cat
4They were talking about hockey
The cat was talking back
5Long about then every-thing went black
1Wasn't that a party (CHORUS)
4
I'm sure it's just my memory
1Playing tricks on me
But I think I saw my buddy
5Cutting down my neighbour's tree (CHORUS)
Billy Joe and Tommy
1Well they went a little far
2They were sitting in the back yard, blowing on a sireen
From somebody's police car
1
So you see, Your Honour
It was all in fun
The little bitty track meet down on main street
57Was just to see if the cops could run
Well they run us in to see you
1In an alcoholic haze
5I sure can use those thirty days
To re-cover from the party (CHORUS)
