Wasn't That A Party (tom Paxton) Lyrics - Home In Ireland - Irish Rovers

chorus: 

Could've been the whiskey 

It might have been the gin 

Could have 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 going to die 

Tell 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 

They were talking about hockey 

The cat was talking back 

Long about then everything went black 

Wasn't that a party 

I'm sure it's just my memory 

Playing tricks on me 

But I think I saw my buddy 

Cutting down my neighbor's tree 

(chorus) 

Billy Joe and Tommy 

Well they went a little far 

They were sitting in the back yard, blowing on a siren 

From somebody's police car 

Photos 

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 

(repeat chorus x2, fade)
