Wasn’t That a Party

chorus: Could've been the whiskey It might have been the gin Could have been the three or four six packs, I don't know But look at the mess I'm in My head is like a football I think I'm going to die Tell me, me oh, me oh my Wasn't that a party Someone took a grapefruit Wore it like a hat I saw someone under my kitchen table Talking to my old tom cat They were talking about hockey The cat was talking back Long about then everything went black Wasn't that a party I'm sure it's just my memory Playing tricks on me But I think I saw my buddy Cutting down my neighbor's tree (chorus) Billy Joe and Tommy Well they went a little far They were sitting in the back yard, blowing on a siren From somebody's police car So you see, Your Honor It was all in fun The little bitty track meet down on main street Was just to see if the cops could run Well they run us in to see you In an alcoholic haze I sure can use those thirty days To recover from the party (repeat chorus x2, fade)
