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

Billy Joe and Tommy
Well they went a little far
2They were sitting in the back yard, blowing on a sireen
5From somebody's police car
1
So you see, Your Honour
It was all in fun
The little bitty track meet down on main street
57Was just to see if the cops could run
Well they run us in to see you
1In an alcoholic haze
5I sure can use those thirty days
To re-cover from the party (CHORUS)
