lyrics
(a shutter rattles halfway down) One last order, please. Red stools stacked against the wall Forty years, and that's your all Auntie wipes the counter slow Under the sign's last pink glow She knows my order, mh sai gong (no need to say) Strong and sweet, and don't take long One last cup (one last cup) One last cup of naai cha Forty years stirred right up One last cup (one last cup) One last cup — do jeh, do jeh Drink it slow, don't give it up Two holes punched in the milk tin lid Same two holes since I was a kid Booth by the window, seat worn through Shaped like everyone it knew One last cup (one last cup) One last cup of naai cha Forty years stirred right up One last cup (one last cup) One last cup — do jeh, do jeh They'll make this place a phone shop soon Bright white lights, no afternoon But steam and sugar don't obey (hau wui yau kei... we'll meet again) One last cup (one last cup) One last cup of naai cha Forty years stirred right up One last cup (one last cup) One last cup — do jeh, do jeh Drink it slow, don't give it up (one last cup... one last cup) (the neon clicks off)
