{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 /
