Well I really had a ball last night
I held all the pretty boys tight
I was feelin’ single, seein’ double
Wound up in a whole lotta trouble
But today I’ll face the big fight
But I really had a ball last night
When I came home from work this morning
My baby was feelin’ low
And he told me what was on his mind
Then he told me where I could go
Well I didn’t go where he told me to
Cause the water was cold in the lake
Now there’s something fishy ’bout this whole deal
I don’t see where I made my mistake
Well I really had a ball last night
I held all the pretty boys tight

I was feelin’ single, seein’ double
Wound up in a whole lotta trouble
But today I’ll face the big fight
But I really had a ball last night

When I woke up this morning
Like me, the sun was high
Well I started walking the long way home
Just to think of an alibi
Well I couldn’t think of a darn gawn thing
That hadn’t already been said
So I guess I better just play it by ear
Cause I’m already dead
Well I really had a ball last night
I held all the pretty boys tight

I was feelin’ single, seein’ double
Wound up in a whole lotta trouble
But today I’ll face the big fight
But I really had a ball last night
Yes today I’ll face the big fight
But I really had a ball last night
