paroles de chanson Closing Time - Lipbone Redding

Behind the coffee counter she's a close encounter
An angel tying to make enough dough to finish school
Fluorescent lights go up
Turn the closing sign around
Closing time the pavement sparkles in this dirty little town

That girl is ready
She's ready she's ready
For closing time
She's gotta pay the rent
Whoo Tonight
That girl's gotta hop the fence

Hop the fence
Oh yeah hold it right there

Behind the neon's flashing
And the tavern's wood facade
Ol' Tom is sipping whisky
The cook is on the nod
The waitress she ignores him by the radiator
She keeps on staring out the door
Dreaming some sports bar gladiator
Will come sweep her off her feet
She'll never have to work another shift
His chariot awaits, "Aw baby, can I give you a lift?"
The cars keep passing by
Put another dollar in the jukebox
One more song, one drink for Tom
Its almost closing time

Closing time
That money's already spent
Tonight's the night the night the night
Tonight's the night that girl's gonna hop the fence

Way away down 5th street the hoops and hollers die away
A heavy drunken cloud holds down the staggers and the strays
Old Tom never stumbles, Its the street that's falling down
4 o'clock that pavement sparkles Tom finally comes around
The girl is gone
His money's gone
Hasn't seen em since
Looks like that girls said.
"Tonight's the night I'm gonna hop the fence!"
Come on girl, hop the fence
Hop the fence
Everybody must hop the fence sometimes
Everybody must hop the fence sometimes
Hop the fence
Tonight's the night the night that girl's gonna
Gonna gonna hop that...
Skeebally be bop zubity zee bop zam kibbibety bam boop
Tonight's the night
Lets get outta here y'all
Hop the fence
