CLOSING THEME

Let your daughters off the back porch
Dressed in lace and lilac linen

Take their hands and hush their giggling
The closing theme has come to town

Tie your grandfather’s bow tie

Give him a boutonniere and straw hat
And sit him down into his lawn chair
He sits up close so he can see

And we’ll all be there
In our Sunday suits

And our graduation dress

Goodbye, we’ll never re-shingle your barn
Or watch the leaves turn brown

Our little league team has all turned out
With their caps off, they point to the sky
And down it comes with a grace it can’t have
The closing theme has come to town

The closing theme has come to town
