Closing Time

Closing time - time for you to go out,
go out into the world.
Closing time - turn the lights up over
every boy and every girl.
Closing time - one last call for alcohol,
so finish your whiskey or beer.
Closing time - you don't have to go home
but you can't stay here.

Refrain:
I know who I want to take me home.
I know who I want to take me home.
I know who I want to take me home.
Take me home ...

Closing time - time for you
To go back to places
You will be from.
Closing time - this room
Won't be open 'til your
Brothers or your sisters come.
So gather up your jackets,
And move it to the exists,
I hope you have found a friend.
Closing time - every new beginning
Comes from some other beginning's end.

(Repeat refrain)

Closing time - time for you to go back
to the places you will be from.

(Repeat refrain)

Closing time - every new beginning
Comes from some other beginning's end.
