Phil Ochs — Basket In the Pool

[Verse 1] Went to a party the other night, everybody was there Thought that I would have some fun as I started up the stair Somebody tried to ruin it when he won a raffle prize Tried to shake and shock us right before our eyes [Chorus] While we danced, while we were dancing Who was the fool throwed the basket in the pool? [Verse 2] It was filled with the finest cheeses, filled with imported wine Wish that I had won it, and I wish that it were mine While I know some wino lives outside the town He would gladly cut your throat if he could drink it down [Chorus] While we danced, while we were dancing Who was the fool throwed the basket in the pool? [Bridge] Gotta found out who he was, gotta find his name Next time we have a party we won't invite him back again [Verse 3] 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? I think that it was a crime If everyone was groovy, we could all have a real good time [Chorus] We could dance, go right on dancing Who was the fool throwed the basket in the pool? [Verse 4] 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? I think that it was a crime If everyone was groovy, we could all have a real good time [Chorus] We could dance, go right on dancing Who was the fool throwed the basket in the pool? Who was the fool throwed the basket in the pool? Who was the fool throwed the basket in the pool? Who was the fool throwed the basket in the pool?
