Open the curtains, let in the cat Put out the black bags, & that will be that, The sun will still shine or the rain will still fall The clouds will pass by still & that's about all, When it's my funeral, springtime won't wait You'll always be beautiful, & I'll always be late, Put on your best dress or come as you are But whatever you do, don't close the bar... There's De Kroeg & Cross Lances, the Beconsfield Arms, The Bell & the Nelson, the Cafe Notre Dame, The Gasthof Zur Post & the Cafe Ronsard, The Hare & The Hounds & the Stove & the Star, Letras de cancionesThe lights on the harbour, your old friend the moon, A full pint of Fullers, a new Pelforth Brune, A half of Retsina, a good cafe noir A handful of peanuts, a nightful of stars Don't close the bar.... Here's some suggestions of things you could do Put on some punkrock & dance round the room, Put on some Piaf, then have some Brel & the best sex you can think of in your favourite hotel, Don't go to Tescos, blow it all in FNAC But wherever you do go it won't bring me back So just keep on going, take this guitar, Recycle my songs with the bottles & jars Just don't close the bar...
