Don't The Girls All Get Prettier At Closing Time
A one, a two, a one, two, three, go
Oh, the girls all get prettier at closing time
And they all begin to look like movie stars
Oh, the girls all get prettier at closing timee
When the change starts takin' place
It puts a glow on every face
Of the fallin' angels at the back street bars
If I could rate 'em on a scale from one to ten
I'm lookin' for a nine, but eight could work right in
A few more drinks and I might slip to five or even four
But when tomorrow mornin' comes (when the mornin' comes)
And I wake up with a number one (number one)
I swear I'll never do it anymore
Oh, the girls all get prettier at closing time
And they all begin to look like movie stars
Oh, the girls all get prettier at closing time
When the change starts takin' place
It puts a glow on every face
Of the fallin' angels at the back street bars
Hey, hey, hey
I don't mean to criticize the girls at all
'Cause I know Robert Redford even overhauled
But we all picture in our minds
A girl that looks just right
Now ain't it funny, ain't it strange (ooh)
The way a man's opinions change (yeah, yea)
When he starts to face that mornin' light
Oh, the girls all get prettier at closing time
And they all begin to look like movie stars
Oh, the girls all get prettier at closing time
When the change starts takin' place
It puts a glow on every face
Of the fallin' angels at the back street bars
Uh-uh
The fallin' angels at the back street bars
Oh, the girls all get prettier at closing time
And they all begin to look like movie stars
Oh, the girls all get prettier at closing timee
When the change starts takin' place
It puts a glow on every face
Of the fallin' angels at the back street bars
If I could rate 'em on a scale from one to ten
I'm lookin' for a nine, but eight could work right in
A few more drinks and I might slip to five or even four
But when tomorrow mornin' comes (when the mornin' comes)
And I wake up with a number one (number one)
I swear I'll never do it anymore
Oh, the girls all get prettier at closing time
And they all begin to look like movie stars
Oh, the girls all get prettier at closing time
When the change starts takin' place
It puts a glow on every face
Of the fallin' angels at the back street bars
Hey, hey, hey
I don't mean to criticize the girls at all
'Cause I know Robert Redford even overhauled
But we all picture in our minds
A girl that looks just right
Now ain't it funny, ain't it strange (ooh)
The way a man's opinions change (yeah, yea)
When he starts to face that mornin' light
Oh, the girls all get prettier at closing time
And they all begin to look like movie stars
Oh, the girls all get prettier at closing time
When the change starts takin' place
It puts a glow on every face
Of the fallin' angels at the back street bars
Uh-uh
The fallin' angels at the back street bars
