I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in.
                  Bb                         F
My head is like a football, I think Im gonna die.

#2.
F
Someone took a grapefruit, and wore it like a hat.

I saw someone under my kitchen table, talking to my old tom cat..
                        Bb                             F
they were talking about hockey, and the cat was talkin back.
            C
Along about then everything went black..
                 F
but wasnt that a party?

BRIDGE:
Bb                                      F
Maybe just my memory, playin' tricks on me..
      G                                                C
but I think I saw my buddy cuttin' down my neighbour's tree..

CHORUS:
C                   F
Could have been the whiskey, 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.
                  Bb                         F
My head is like a football, I think Im gonna die.
         C                                 F
Tell me, me, oh, me, oh, my..wasn't that a party?

Old Billy Joe and Tommy, well, they went a little far..
          G
they were sitting in the back seat blowing on the siren,
                    C
in somebodys police car.

#3.
C                 F
So, you see, your honour, it was all in fun.

That little bitty track-meet down on the main street,

was just to see if the cops could run.
                        Bb                       F
Well, they run us in to see you, in an alcoholic haze.
           C                                         F    G
I can sure use those thirty days to recover from the party.

CHORUS:
G
Could have been the whiskey, might have been the gin..

I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in.
