Could have been the whiskey

"Wasn't that a party?"

Could have been the whiskey,
Might have been the gin.
Could have been 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?

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 wasn't that a party?

I'm sure it's 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 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?

Old Billy Joe and Tommy,
Well they went a little far,
They were sitting in my backyard
Blowing on the siren
In somebody's police car.
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 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 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?
