{Chorus}
Could have been the whisky, might have been the gin.
Could have 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
/ C / C / - C7 / - F / G /
Someone took a grapefruit, wore it like a hat
I saw someone under my kitchen table
Talking to my old tomcat
They were talking football, the cat was talking back
Round about then everything went black, wasn't that a party
/ C / C / - C7 / - F / G /
It might have been my memory, playing tricks on me
But I think I saw my buddy cutting down my neighbours tree.
/ F / G7 /
Chorus
BREAK (Instrumental) / F / G7 /
Chorus
And Bill, and Joe and Tommy, well, they went a little far
They were sitting in the front yard blowing on the siren of somebody's police car.
/ F / G7 /
So you see, your Honour, it was all in fun
That little bitty track meet down on main street
was just to see if the cops could run
Well they run us down to see you in an alcoholic haze
Sure could use those thirty days to recover from the party
/ C / C / - C7 / - F / G /
Well they run us down to see you in an alcoholic haze
Sure could use those thirty days to recover from the party
/ - F / G /
Chorus
