The Noisy Days Are Over

"It's time to get smart"

You told me

I said, "You needn't bother"

If you could only last for the night

You said, "Well, that's fine

I can see it's getting on but I could do with another"

So bring your timetable

And your house keys

And don't forget your name

Or where you live

The noisy days are over

And here we are instead

Why don't you get to bed like everybody else?

The noisy days are over

And here we are instead

Why don't you grow old like everybody else?

"Could you please keep it quiet"

(Shh!)

You asked me

"I'm a big boy now and I can take what's coming to me"

But what could I say?

But, “We're all getting on

And something's going to get us before too long"

Can't you change your tune?

And sleep in your own room

And say it isn't so

That you can't say no

The noisy days are over

And here we are instead

Why don't you get to bed like everybody else?

The noisy days are over

And here we are instead

Why don't you take a break like everybody else?

The noisy days are over

And here we are instead

Why don't you get to bed like everybody else?

The noisy days a revere

And here we are instead

Why don't you take the bus like everybody else?

I hope that you can keep it up
