The Rotters’ Club is Closing Down

The Rotters' Club is closing down
The management have all left town
'Till the memories fade and crumble in the rain

The chairman fled and went abroad
Adventure is it's own reward
Let's have one last drink at 'The Gare du Nord' near the Seine

We drank that winning magnum dry
We kissed the girls and made them cry
Yet half returned to say goodbye
To you know who

Tell me how did you do that?

So now who'll take the jokes too far
Who'll search in vain for that missing bar
Now the encore's done and the band won't play again

I half expect the phone to ring
To hear that wheezy mumbling
Persuading me to do something I don't want to do

How the hell did you do that?

Tadpoles keep screaming in my ears
(The Rotters' Club is closing down)

Tadpoles keep screaming in my ears
(The Rotters' Club is closing down)

Tadpoles keep screaming in my ears
(The Rotters' Club is closing down)
