Wasn't That A Party:Irish Rovers.
#37 in 1981.
[Chorus]
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?
#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..

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]
