Went to a party the other night, everybody was there
|
D E
|
Thought that I would have some fun as I started up the stair.

Somebody tried to ruin it when he won a raffle prize,
|
A E
|
Tried to shake and shock us right before our eyes.

While we danced, while we were dancing

Who was the fool throw the basket in the pool?
|
|
It was filled with the finest cheeses filled with imported wine,
|
Wish that I had won it, and I wish that it were mine
|
I know some wino lives outside of town
|
Hw would gladly cut your throat if he could drink it down
|
While we danced, while we were dancing
|
Who was the fool throw the basket in the pool?
|
|
If I had found out who he was, if I'd have found his face,
|
Next time we have a party gonna find out his name.
|
I've been on the ocean swimming know poroise led the way,
|
It wasn't worth the matter and it wasn't worth the pay.
|
We were there, go right on dancing
|
Who was the fool throw the basket in the pool?
|
|
How can I go swimming now my world is laid to waste?
|
It was the worst of manners and it was the worst of taste
|
Why can't we be left alone? Think that it was a crime
|
If everyone was groovy we could all have a real good time.
|
We could dance, go right on dancing
|
Who was the fool throw the basket in the pool?
