CLOSIN' TIME
(Billy Connolly)

Oh it's closin' time again you'll have to leave us
Oh you've got that far away look in your eyes
We've got to hose the lobby down and count the tumblers
And wipe the stewer from off tomorrow's pies

Oh the Scottish pubs they're gonna be just like England
They're lettin' us drink up an hour late
But that won't affect the crowd that drink in my pub
'Cause they're all steamin' drunk at half past eight

Oh yes it's closin' time again you'll have to leave us
You've got that far away look in your eyes
We've got to hose the lobby down and count the tumblers
And wipe the stewer from off tomorrow's pies

You should see the way they come in here at openin'
It's a wonder they're allowed out on their own
Stone cold sober they come in like Mickey Rooney
Three pints later they barge out like big John Wayne

Oh yes it's closin' time again you'll have to leave us
For you've got that far away look in your eyes
Oh yes we've got to hose the lobby down and count the tumblers
And wipe the stewer from off tomorrow's pies

Oh there's gonna be big changes made in this pub
There'll be topless lassies servin' up your beer
Well I told the boss that's sex descrimination
I've been wearin' topless trousers here for years

Oh yes it's closin' time again you'll have to leave us
Oh you've got that far away look in your eyes
We've got to hose the lobby down and count the tumblers
And wipe the stewer from off tomorrow's pies

I think it's obvious that this is a parody of "Cryin' Time."
