(Sung by the store employees at the end of the long and harassing work day. Note the reference to "getting the nickel set to hit the subway" - a symbol of a time long since past. Also, the interlude song by a pair of shoppers, equally harassed).

Verse:

Six o'clock is chimin'--
Give your chassis quite a shake-up.
Hurry, put your time in -
Little lassie, get your make-up.
Cover up the counter,
Find the box you keep your hose in.
Quit reposin'
Like your dozin' -,
Stop your posin'
Like you're frozen -
Hey!

Chorus:

It's closin' time!
Let's shut the tap on talk and tears and trouble -
Let's turn off ev'ry single bubble
In the soda fountain -
Balance up the days account 'n'
Say:
Good night!

It's closin' time!
Don't stand there spinning daydreams in a dither!
Let's pat those shiny noses with a
Touch of run-out powder,
Hurry, get your body outta
Sight -
Good night!

(Interlude, sung by two weary shoppers):

All day we've been shoppin' -
Our poor heels a-poppin' -
We're ready to drop in
our tracks.

Heard bunk by the store full -
Bought junk by the drawer full -
A couple of awful
Sad Saks -
Fifth Avenue!   (All)

It's closin' time -
Let's get that nickel set to hit the subway -
Let's hurry home and fill the tub 'way
Up to overflowin' -
Wash away the day's hard goin' -
Set a hotfoot to your toe 'n'
Say:
Good night!
