                 YOU CAN'T STAY HERE

I've been singin' to you since nine o'clock tonight
Playin' old favorites and the new ones that you like
If you're feelin' kind and you wanna tip the band
Give until it hurts - put it in the can
This is gonna be our last tune
So if you're gonna get lucky, well, you'd better get it soon

     We'll be here tomorrow
     Come see us again
     If you've had a good time
     Next time bring a friend
     Thank you everyone
     We've had a lot of fun
     Now it's time to finish up your beer
     You don't have to go home . . .
     but you can't stay here

Don't forget your waitress, give it up before you go
She's been good to you, she told you all her jokes
The man behind the bar wants to see his wife
He's lookin' more than ready to be callin' it a night
Give your best wishes to the bouncer at the door
Make your last promise - you won't bother him no more

     We'll be here tomorrow
     Come see us again
     If you've had a good time
     Next time bring a friend
     Thank you everyone
     We've had a lot of fun
     Now it's time to finish up your beer
     You don't have to go home . . .
     but you can't stay here

     We'll be here tomorrow
     Come see us again
     If you've had a good time
     Next time bring a friend
     Thank you everyone
     We've had a lot of fun
     Now it's time to finish up your beer
     You don't have to go home . . .
     but you can't stay here

     You don't have to go home . . .
     but you can't stay here
