De hoogste tijd
André Hazes
About Damn Time
The bartender pours another drink in,
it's about damn time,
the last one is being poured,
from the corner,
the tabs are ready,
hey, can I bum a smoke tonight,
you can pay me back tomorrow.
It's time, about damn time,
goodbye ma'am and goodbye sir,
you'll be back here anyway.
Someone's ringing the bell,
the last round is on me,
then we'll head home quickly,
who's thinking of me,
I have needs too.
At the table in the corner,
there's a man alone,
staring ahead,
soon he'll be forgotten again,
he's thinking where can I go,
I don't have a damn cent.
It's time, about damn time,
thank you for the cozy evening,
goodbye ma'am and goodbye sir,
you'll be back here anyway.
The waiter calls come on people,
it's about damn time,
I have a family too,
because she knows when we close,
if I come home late,
I won't be let in.
Still joking and laughing for a bit, then it's over,
the place is empty now,
empty bottles and some peanuts on the floor,
the jukebox suddenly went silent.
It's time, about damn time,
thank you for the cozy evening,
goodbye ma'am and goodbye sir,
you'll be back here anyway.
It's time, about damn time,
thank you for the cozy evening,
goodbye ma'am and goodbye sir,
you'll be back here anyway.
