Could  have been the whiskey, 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 Im gonna die.
 Tell me, me,  oh, me, oh, my..wasn't that a party?
Someone  took a grapefruit, and wore it like a hat.
 I saw someone under my kitchen table, talking to my old tom cat..
 they were talking about hockey,  and the cat was talkin back.
 Along about then  everything went black..
 but wasnt that a party?
Maybe  just my memory, playin' tricks on me..
 but I think  I saw my buddy cuttin' down my neighbour's tree..
Could  have been the whiskey,  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 Im gonna die.
 Tell me, me,  oh, me, oh, my..wasn't that a party?
 (INTERLUDE:)
Old  Billy Joe and Tommy,  well, they went a little far..
 they were sitting  in the back seat blowing on the siren,
 in somebodys police car.
So,  you see, your honour,  it was all in fun.
 That little bitty track-meet down on the main street,
 was just to see if the cops could run.
 Well, they run us in to see  you, in an alcoholic haze.
 I can sure use  those thirty days to recover from the party.
Could  have been the whiskey, 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 Im gonna die.
 Tell me, me,  oh, me, oh, my..wasn't that a party?
Could  have been the whiskey, 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 Im gonna die.
 Tell me, me,  oh, me, oh, my..wasn't that a party?
Wasn't  that a party..(x4)(Fade.)
