The Party's Over

Smoking Popes

Compositor: Adolph Green / Betty Comden / Karen Harris

The party's over
It's time to call it a day
Burst your pretty balloons
Taking the moon away

It's time to wind up
The masquerade
Just make your mind up
The piper must be paid

The party's over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right
just being with him

Now you must wake up
All dreams must end
Take off your make-up
The party's over
The party's over

You've had your fun
Now hear comes the sun
The party's over

It's time to wind up
The masquerade
Just make your mind up
The piper must be paid

The party's over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right
just being with him

Now you must wake up
All dreams must end
Take off your make-up
The party's over
The party's over my friend

It's time to wake up
The party's over
Take off your make-up
The party's over
