Phil Ochs - Basket In The Pool Lyrics
Pre>a d aWent to a party the other night, everybody was thereD eThought that I would have some fun as I started up the stair.A dSomebody tried to ruin it when he won a raffle prize,A eTried to shake and shock us right before our eyes.D e aWhile we danced, while we were dancingD a e f#mWho 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 mineI know some wino lives outside of townHw would gladly cut your throat if he could drink it downWhile we danced, while we were dancingWho was the fool throw the basket in the pool?If I had found out who he was, if Id have found his face,Next time we have a party gonna find out his name.Ive been on the ocean swimming know poroise led the way,It wasnt worth the matter and it wasnt worth the pay.We were there, go right on dancingWho 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 tasteWhy cant we be left alone? think that it was a crimeIf everyone was groovy we could all have a real good time.We could dance, go right on dancingWho was the fool throw the basket in the pool?/pre>
