lyrics
(a time clock punches — ka-chunk) Last shift. Watch me. (watch me, watch me) My apron's hanging on the hook Six years of gravy on the hem The fry lights hum — I take one look Then blow a kiss to all of them (bye, table five!) I flip the sign to CLOSED — no, DONE Tonight the dance floor is the one (one, one, one) Clock out! (clock out) I'm never going back Clock out! (clock out) The bassline's got my back Clock out! (clock out) Punch it one last time Clock out! (clock out) The rest of my life's mine (ka-chunk!) I fed the jukebox my last dime Picked something with a pulse this time Deb from the kitchen grabbed my hand We conga'd past the pancake stand (go, Deb, go!) Monday, some new girl gets my hook Good luck, honey — keep the look (keys jangle onto the counter) (keep the look, keep the look) Clock out! (clock out) I'm never going back Clock out! (clock out) The bassline's got my back Clock out! (clock out) Punch it one last time Clock out! (clock out) The rest of my life's mine (shine, shine, shine) (the door chime rings one last time) Clock out... clock out... (watch me, watch me)
