[Verse 1]
The night, she is a true companion
They shuffle in, they hear the sound
But by night's end, it's night's abandon
You look across the floor, ain't anyone around
[Chorus]
Closing time
Unplug them people
And send them home
It's closing time
[Verse 2]
Now Kenny, he's been mixing sound all evening
Sometimes I think that boy, he ain't got no ears
And Kathy's laughing, Kathy is always laughing
Well, keep on laughing, Kathy, just make it out of here
[Chorus]
Closing time
Unplug them people
And send them home
It's closing time
Closing time
Unplug them people
And send them home
It's closing time
[Verse 3]
So stack those chairs upon those tables
And stack those empties upon that bar
And count your money, and count my money
And hear those bottles ringing, you know where you are
[Chorus]
Closing time
Unplug them people
And send them home
It's closing time
Closing time
Unplug them people
And send them home
It's closing time
[Outro]
The night's all that's left behind
You take your part and I'll take mine
And go on home
It's closing time
