Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let the waitress put the chairs up
Let the glasses that you broke
Form a picture of our leader
With a halo made of smoke
[Verse 2]
Let the golden oldies station
Crackle and come through
With a final benediction
We'll hum along to
Before we say goodnight
[Verse 3]
Let our talk about the ball game
And the weather show we care
Like a sound we didn't notice
Until it stopped and left us there
[Verse 4]
With the traffic and our heartbeats
Beating in straight time
Let our hatred and affection
March in the same line
Before we say goodnight
[Verse 5]
Oh, protect our secret handshake
Once more with feeling
Let the toast to absent members
Push through the ceiling
Before we say goodnight
[Verse 6]
Before we say goodnight
[Verse 7]
Before we say goodnight
