There’s a [G]stranger in my bed, there’s a [Em]pounding in my head
Glitter [Bm]all over the room, pink [A]flamingos in the pool
I smell [G]like a minibar, DJ’s [Em]passed out in the yard
Barbie’s [Bm]on the barbeque, this a [A]hickie or a bruise


Pictures [G]of last night, ended [Em]up online.
I’m [Bm]screwed, oh [A]well, it’s a [G]blacked out blur.
But I’m [Em]pretty sure it [Bm]ruled, [A]damn.


Last Friday [G]night, yeah, we danced on table[Em]tops
And we took too many [Bm]shots, think we kissed but I for[A]got
Last Friday [G]night, yeah, we maxed our credit [Em]cards
And got kicked out of the [Bm]bar, so we hit the boule[A]vard
Last Friday [G]night, we went streaking in the [Em]park
Skinny dipping in the [Bm]dark, then had a ménage à [A]trois


Last Friday [G]night, yeah I think we broke the [Em]law
Always say we’re gonna [Bm]stop, op-oh-[A]oh
This Friday [G]night, do it [Em]all a[Bm]gain[A]
This Friday [G]night, do it [Em]all a[Bm]gain[A]


Trying [G]to connect the dots, don’t know [Em]what to tell my boss
Think the [Bm]city towed my car, chande[A]lier is on the floor
Ripped my [G]favorite party dress, warrant’s [Em]out for my arrest
Think I [Bm]need a ginger ale, that was [A]such an epic fail


Pictures [G]of last night, ended [Em]up online.
I’m [Bm]screwed, oh [A]well, it’s a [G]blacked out blur.
But I’m [Em]pretty sure it [Bm]ruled, [A]damn.


Last Friday [G]night, yeah, we danced on table [Em]tops
And we took too many [Bm]shots, think we kissed but I for[A]got
Last Friday [G]night, yeah, we maxed our credit [Em]cards
And got kicked out of the [Bm]bar, so we hit the boule[A]vard
Last Friday [G]night, we went streaking in the [Em]park
Skinny dipping in the [Bm]dark, then had a ménage à [A]trois
Last Friday [G]night, yeah I think we broke the [Em]law
Always say we’re gonna [Bm]stop, oh whoa [A]oh
This Friday [G]night, do it[Em]all a[Bm]gain[A]
(Do it all again), this Friday [G]night
Do it[Em]all a[Bm]gain[A] (Do it all again)
This Friday [G]night


Last Friday[G]night, yeah, we danced on table [Em]tops
And we took too many [Bm]shots, think we kissed but I fo[A]rgot
