The Party's Over ! - By Eliza Gilkyson . . .

The Party’s Over
Lyrics and Music Eliza Gilkyson

The party’s over, we had us a time
Everybody got loaded, everybody looked fine
We emptied the coffers of water and wine

The party’s over
We had a good time
We danced on the tables midnight til dawn
Til all the time was up and the good stuff gone

The house is a shambles, broken glass in the streets
Guttering candles, blood on the sheets
We burned all the kindling, passed the bottle around
Watched the last coals dwindling
And the ice melting down

We danced on the tables midnight til dawn
Til all the time was up and the good stuff gone

The party’s over, we had a blast
Brought in the lawyers to cover our ass
Left a note for the children to clean up the mess
The party’s over . . . it was a big success!

We danced on the tables midnight til dawn
Til all the time was up and the good stuff gone
