 Well the sun  is sinkin’ and people  start thinkin’ at twilight
 Tell me what  can I do till a quarter  of two to feel  alright
 Well, somebody’s  always playin’..down  at the Hoorah  Range
 And a whole  lotta women a dancin’  and drinkin’, just a swingin’
 I’ll be there  ... ’till the bars burn down
 I gotta a chair..  ‘till the bars burn down
 I’m gonna stare  ... ’till the bars burn down
 I’ll be there until the bars  burn  down
 Ah, it’s ten  after five and I see ten  other guys with the same  thought
 Well they’d love  to go out but they’ll  probably go home ‘cause they’d get  caught
 Later on  you see ‘em tip  toin’ up the stairway carryin’ a woman in shoes
 On their way to wastin’ a lot of good conversation and booze
 I’ll be there  ... ‘till the bars burn down
 I gotta a chair..till  the bars burn down
 I’m gonna stare  ... ‘till the bars burn down
 I’ll be there until  the bars burn down
 Tell me why if women  get lonely just  like men, how  come you never can find  them then?
 How  come you gotta go down  there again and again
 I’ll be there until the bars  burn down
 ‘Til the bars  burn down
 until the bars  burn down
 I’ll be there until the bars burn down
 I gotta find  me a honey if it costs  me all my money and then  some
 I come down here too much to go home  without having some real  fun
 Well you can even leave  it all tomorrow  and still  not be in love
 You got a family  man and there ain’t  no place like home
 I’m going home
 (REPEAT CHORUS, AD LIB, AND FADE)
