Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Coulda been the whiskey
Mighta been the gin
Coulda 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?
[Verse 2]
Someone took a grapefruit
He wore it like a hat
I saw someone under my kitchen table
Talkin' to my old tom cat
They were talkin' 'bout hockey
And the cat was talkin' back
Along about then everything went black
Wasn't that a party?
[Verse 3]
I'm sure it's just my memory
Playin' tricks on me
But I think I saw my buddy
Cuttin' down my neighbor's tree
[Verse 4]
Coulda been the whiskey
Mighta been the gin
Coulda 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?
[Verse 5]
Billy, Joe, and Tom
Well, they went a little far
Well, they were sittin' in my backyard, blowin' on a siren
From somebody's police car
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Coulda been the whiskey
Mighta been the gin
Coulda 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
And I think I'm gonna die
Tell me, me, oh, me, oh, my
Wasn't that a party?
[Verse 8]
Coulda been the whiskey
Mighta been the gin
Coulda 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?
[Verse 9]
Wasn't that a party?
Wasn't that a party?
Whoa, what a party
Wasn't that a party?
Oh, what a party
Wasn't that a party?
Whoa, what a party
Whoa, party
What a party
Wasn't that a party?
Wasn't that a party?
