LAST CALL FOR ALCOHOL
(Don Rollins)
Charlie Walker - 1965
There's no blonde at the bar making eyes at me
So I don't suppose that I'd be cheerful company
Anyhow it's too late to even hope tonight
They just switched off the jukebox and turned on the lights
And it's last call for alcohol, oh, that's the worst of all
When the drinks are gone, the table's cleared and they tell me to go home
To a house where lives the pieces of my broken heart
Last call for alcohol and time for tears to start
(Instrumental Break)
'Cause there once was somebody in this life of mine
One to take her place I don't expect to find
But it might be a long long time before
She's back and the lights go on in my life once more
And it's last call for alcohol, oh, that's the worst of all
When the drinks are gone, the table's cleared and they tell me to go home
Waitress, tell 'em fix one more and pour it tall
I'll drink it fast, I know that it's last call for alcohol
