Wasn't That A Party - The Irish Rovers
 
{ CHORUS } - - - - 
 
[Verse 1] - - - - Someone took a [D] grapefruit, wore it like a hat
I saw someone under my kitchen table, [D7] talking to my old tom cat ...
They were talking about [G] hockey.  The cat was talking [D] back
Long about then [A] everything went black.....  Wasn't that a [D] party
 
[Bridge] - - - - I'm [G] sure it's just my memory, playing tricks on [D] me
But I [E] think I saw my buddy - cutting down my neighbour's [A] tree
 
{ CHORUS }  - - - - Could've been the [D] whiskey, might have been the gin 
Could've been the three or four six-packs, I don't know 
But [D7] look at the mess I'm in 
My head is like a [G] football. I think I'm going to [D] die 
Tell me, [A] me oh, me oh my. Wasn't that a [D] party 
 
[Bridge] - - - - [A] Billy, Joe and [G] Tommy - Well, they went a bit too [D] far
They were [E] sitting in the back yard, 
blowing the siren of a police [A] car
 
[Verse 2] - - - - [A] So you see, Your [D] Honour, it was all in fun
The little bitty race we had last night
Was just to [D7] see if the cops could run
Well, they run us in to [G] see you, in an alcoholic [D] haze
I can [A] sure use those thirty days to recover from the [D] party
 
{ CHORUS }  - - - -  
Tellin' me, [A] me oh, me oh my. Wasn't that a [D] party
