Wasn't That A Party
Scooter Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could've 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 gonna 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
They were talking about hockey, the cat was talking back
Along 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
It could've been the whiskey, might've been the gin
It could've 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 gonna die
Tell me, me oh, me oh, my, wasn't that a party?
Billy, Sue and Tommy
Well, they went a little far
They were sittin' in my back yard, blowing on a siren
From somebody's police car
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
Could've been the whiskey, might've been the gin
Could've 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?
It could've been the whiskey, might've been the gin
It could've 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 gonna die
Tell me, me oh, me oh, my, wasn't that a party?
Wasn't that a party?
Wasn't that a party?
Wasn't that a party?
Wasn't that a party?
Scooter Lee's song "Wasn't That a Party" is a fun and light-hearted tune that describes the aftermath of an epic party. As the singer reflects on the previous night, they note that they're not quite sure what led to the "mess" they're in. They joke that it could've been the whiskey, gin, or several six-packs. The singer's head is spinning, and they feel like they're going to die, but all they can do is laugh and reminisce about the party they had. The second verse continues the story, with humorous anecdotes about guests wearing grapefruit as hats and the singer's tomcat talking about hockey. The partygoers get wild, with someone blowing a siren from a police car, and it all ends with the singer waking up in jail, trying to explain to the judge.
Overall, "Wasn't That a Party" is a lighthearted song that captures the spirit of a wild night. The lyrics describe a party where anything goes, and people let loose and have fun. The singer acknowledges that they got carried away, but they're not too worried about the consequences, as they're too busy laughing at the memories. The song is relatable to anyone who's ever had a wild night they can barely remember.

Along about then, everything went black, wasn't that a party?
Suddenly, I blacked out, but what a party it was before that happened

As you can tell, Your Honor, everything we did was just for fun and not meant to harm anyone
The little bitty track meet down on Main Street was just to see if the cops could run
The Track meet we held down on Main Street was just a harmless attempt to see the cops sprint
Well, they run us in to see you in an alcoholic haze
We were taken into custody and brought before you in a drunken stupor
I sure can use those thirty days to recover from the party
I could certainly use the thirty days in jail to recover from the aftermath of that wild party
Wasn't that a party?
Overall, wasn't that an epic party?

One more time, wasn't that a legendary party?
Wasn't that a party?
I can't help repeating this - Wasn't that an incredible party?

Let's finish this by recalling the greatness of that party one last time. Wasn't it amazing?
