  Could have been the whiskey      Might have been the gin

  Could have been the three or four six packs I don't know
      Bb
  But look at the mess I'm in my head's a-like a football

  I think I'm gonna die

  Tell me me oh me oh my      Wasn't that a party?

[VERSE]
                 F
  Someone took a grapefruit        Wore it like a hat
        F
  I saw someone under my kitchen table talking to my old tom cat
                         F
  They was talking about hockey           The cat was talking   back
             F
  Long about then everything went black      Wasn't that a party?

  I'm sure it's just my memory         Playing tricks on me

  Billy Joe and Tommy          Well they went a little far

  So you see your honor                It was all in fun
                    F
  That little bitty track meet down on Main Street was just to
  F
  See if the cops could run
                         F
  Well they run us in to see you            In an alcoholic haze
               F
  I sure could use those thirty days to recover from the party
