Don't Let the Girls All Get Prettier at Closing Time - Mickey Gilley

Chorus:

The girls all get prettier at closing time

They all begin to look like movie stars

The girls all get prettier at closing time

When the change starts taking place

It puts a glow on every face

Of the falling angels of the back street bars.

If I could rate’em on a scale from 1 to 10

I’m lookin' for a 9 but 8 would slip right in

A few more drinks and I might slip to a 5 or even a 4

But when tomorrow morning comes,

And I wake up with a number 1

I swear I’ll never do it anymore.

Chorus:

The girls all get prettier at closing time

They all begin to look like movie stars

The girls all get prettier at closing time

When the change starts taking place

It puts a glow on every face

Of the falling angels of the back street bars.

--- Instrumental ---

Now, I don’t mean to criticize the girls at all

I know Robert Redford, even overhauls

We all picture in our minds a girl that looks just right

Ain’t it funny, ain’t it strange,

The way a man’s opinion changes

When he starts to face that lonely night.

Chorus:

The girls all get prettier at closing time

They all begin to look like movie stars

The girls all get prettier at closing time

When the change starts taking place

It puts a glow on every face

Of the falling angels of the back street bars.

Of the falling angels of the back street bars…
