Lyrics:
Closing time. Open all the doors and let you out into
the world. Closing time. Turn out all of the lights on
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.
Closing time. Time for you to go out to the places you
will be from. Closing time. This room won't be open till
your brothers or your sisters come. So gather up your
jackets; move it to the exits. I hope you have found a
friend. Closing time. Every new beginning comes from
some other beginnings end.
Chorus:
I know who I want to take me home. (Repeated several times)
