The party's over now the dawn is drawing very nigh

The candles gutter the starlight leaves the sky

It's time for little boys and girls to hurry home to bed

For there's a new day waiting just ahead

Life is sweet

But time is fleet

Beneath the magic of the moon

Dancing time

May seem sublime

But it ended all too soon

The thrill has gone

To linger on

Would spoil it anyhow

Let's creep away

From the day

For the party's over now
