  [C]Could have been the whisky,

  Might have been the gin.

  Could have the three or four six packs

  I don't know, but [C7]look at the mess I'm in

  My head is like a [F]football, I think I'm going 

  to die

  Tell me , [G] me oh me oh my

  [C]Wasn't that a Party

  

  Someone took a grapefruit

  wore it like a hat

  I saw someone under my kitchen table 

  talking to an old tomcat

  They were talking about football

  the cat was talking back

  Round about then everything went black.

  Wasn't that a party

  

  {c:BREAK:}

  [F]It might have been my memory

  Playing tricks on me

  but I [G7]think I saw my buddy

  cutting down my neighbours tree.

  

  Could have been the whisky,

  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

  {c:BREAK (2):}

  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.

  

  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

  to die

  Tell me , me oh me oh my
