Could have been the catnip, might have been the pigskins. Could have been 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 and wore it like a hat, I saw someone under my kitchen table, talking to my old tom cat, They were talking about hockey and the cat was talkin' back, Along about then everything went black, But wasn't that a party? I'm sure it's just my memory playin' tricks on me, But I think I saw my buddy cuttin' down my neighbour's tree,

Old Billy Joe and Tommy, well they went a little far, They were sitting in my backyard blowing on the siren in somebody's police car. So you see, your honour, It was all in fun, That 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 can sure use those thirty days to recover from the party.

Ralph: Come on, y’all. We need to hop this flight back to Houston. That was a good game that we saw complements of Buddy Bones. He was also responsible for all the catnip and pigskins and other food and drinks we were able to buy at that Astro’s game against the Rangers, but we are scheduled to work the late shift tonight. We need to leave Arlington now! Grapevine is only about fifteen miles form here. If we hurry, we can run and catch the next flight to Houston. The best part is, Mom will never know! She was hanging out with her friends last night and slept all day to be ready to work tonight. We are home free!
Jodi: OH! My head, AND my stomach. I can’t run five feet, much less five miles! We had too much fun! Now, we are going to pay for it!
Ralph: Maybe not. Carry your sister, guys. We’ll take turns and make it back to Houston just in time to get dressed and go to work. I held back just enough money to buy tickets on a return flight for all of us, but we must go now! The plane will leave in one hour!
Cinco: Big ol’ jet airliner, carry me to my home far away
Ralph: Let’s go, Steve Miller. We need to fly like an eagle1 Carry your sister! We should get home just in time to get ready to go to work with Mom. She will never know what we were up to today!
