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)
