Song Lyrics

Could've been the whiskey, might've been the gin
Could've 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 gonna 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
Along 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

It could've been the whiskey, might've been the gin
It could've 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 gonna die
Tell me, me oh, me oh, my, wasn't that a party?

Billy, Sue and Tommy
Well, they went a little far
They were sittin' in my 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

Could've been the whiskey, might've been the gin
Could've 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?

It could've been the whiskey, might've been the gin
It could've 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 gonna die
Tell me, me oh, me oh, my, wasn't that a party?

Wasn't that a party?
Wasn't that a party?
Wasn't that a party?
Wasn't that a party?
