CHORUS
1
Could've been the whiskey
Might've been the gin
Could've been the three or four six-packs, I don't know
17
But look at the mess I'm in
4
My head is like a football
1
I think I'm going to die
5
Tell me, me oh, me oh my
1
Wasn't that a party
1
Someone took a grapefruit
Wore it like a hat
I saw someone under my kitchen table
57
Talking to my old tom cat
4
They were talking about hockey
1
The cat was talking back
5
Long about then every-thing went black
1
Wasn't that a party (CHORUS)
4
I'm sure it's just my memory
1
Playing tricks on me
2
But I think I saw my buddy
5
Cutting down my neighbour's tree (CHORUS)

WASN'T THAT A PARTY (PAGE TWO)
4
Billy Joe and Tommy
1
Well they went a little far
2
They were sitting in the back yard, blowing on a sireen
5
From somebody's police car
1
So you see, Your Honour
It was all in fun
The little bitty track meet down on main street
57
Was just to see if the cops could run
4
Well they run us in to see you
1
In an alcoholic haze
5
I sure can use those thirty days
1
To re-cover from the party (CHORUS)
