Chorus:
E
It's closing time, and a well-known fact
D A
Is that life is very short
It's closing time says the band
And it seems that life is very short
D Dm
The baker in town was fat as a cow
Ddim E A
At the end of the day he ate all remains
The baker in town was murdered one day
An order was left of 200 pies
E A
We've all got some vice
E A D
After closing time
So this is it!
The carnival is now heading for a new town
We hope you enjoyed the show
The party at Gordon's developed into a chaos
But the report says no one was hurt
And we've also heard that
Charley actually did solve the case
The gruesome killing of the bakerman
Finally, the clown left
the circus to become a plumber
He says: "suits me just fine,
and life is very fine
And this is closing time
Chorus:
It's closing time, and a well-known fact
Is that life is very short
It's closing time says the band
And it seems that life is very short
It's closing time, and a well-known fact
Is that life is very short
It's closing time says the band
And it seems that life is very short
La la la la, la la lalala
La la la la la la la
La la la la, la lalalalalala
La la la la la la la
La la la la, la la lalala
La la la la la la la
La la la la, la lalalalalala
La la la la la la la
La la la la, la la lalala
La la la la la la la
La la la la, la lalalalalala
La la la la la la la
Life - greatest of all
Life - strongest of all
But at the same time
Most delicate time
